JP Morgan Asset Management Appoints Bonds Chief

JP Morgan Asset Management has appointed Pierre-Yves Bareau
as head of emerging market debt, the Wall Street
Journal reports.
Mr Bareau joins the company from Fortis Investments, where he
worked as chief investment officer for emerging market debt for
more than ten years.
In his new role Mr Bareau will be working alongside Bob Michele,
global chief investment officer in fixed income.
"[Mr Bareau's] deep knowledge of the global markets, proven
disciplined approach to evaluating opportunities and added focus
on emerging market corporate debt will expand JP Morgan's reach
and capabilities in identifying value in emerging markets," was
Mr Michele reported to have said.
The appointment follows the departure of JPMorgan’s two long-time
emerging-market managers, Jeffrey Grills and Gunter Heiland.
