Head of multi-asset funds Yoram Lustig is set to leave Aviva Investors, part of the Aviva group, as the firm streamlines its Multi-Asset Funds team.

Lustig, who joined Aviva Investors in 2009, began his career in the investment industry in 2001 and was previously head of portfolio construction for EMEA at Merrill Lynch, where he managed multi-asset discretionary portfolios, amongst other responsibilities.

In addition to his role as lead manager of Aviva Investors' multi-asset funds, Lustig is co-manager on the Aviva Investors’ Diversified Asset Fund and the Aviva Investors Diversified Strategy Fund, according to Fundweb.

The rest of the team and its collaborative approach to fund management remain unchanged, the firm said in a statement.

In other departures at the firm, earlier this year Aviva Investors said its head of strategic alliances, Malcolm Mackenzie, was to leave the firm alongside investment sales manager Nick Hendy, following a reshuffle of the sales team.
