Based in Dublin, Reeves will be responsible for establishing and leading a dedicated high-yield research team as well as developing, oversight and long-term performance of all internally managed high yield investment strategies. His appointment marks an important step in the continued buildout of MIFL’s directly managed investment platform, with its remit of delivering resilient, high-quality outcomes for clients across market cycles, the firm said in a statement. Reeves will report to Daniel Loughney, head of fixed income, and will work closely with Christophe Jaubert, chief investment officer.

Reeves brings global experience as a credit analyst, portfolio manager, and senior investment leader. Most recently, he served as director and global head of high yield investments at Legal & General, where he led top-tier global credit teams and was recognised as the top-rated global high yield manager by two leading international investment consultants. Prior to this, he was director and head of global credit research at AllianceBernstein, overseeing global credit research across multiple sectors and regions.

“High yield is an important and growing component of our assets under management and our clients’ portfolios, and Martin brings a rare combination of deep investment expertise, strategic vision, and proven leadership,” Daniel Loughney, head of fixed income at MIFL, said. “His appointment significantly strengthens our capabilities to deliver actively managed solutions for our clients.”
