Wilmont as European high yield portfolio manager, based in
London.
Wilmont most recently served as head of European high yield
investments at Alcentra and reports to Ann Benjamin, Neuberger
Berman’s chief investment officer for non-investment grade
strategies.
Before joining Alcentra, Wilmont was head of European high yield
strategies at AXA Investment Managers. He began his high yield
investment career in 1997 at Gulf International Bank and he has
also worked as a high yield portfolio manager at Pareto Partners
and at New Flag Asset Management as a high yield credit
analyst.
“High yield has matured into a global asset class and we’re
delighted to expand our investment capabilities and the range of
strategies Neuberger Berman offers to clients with an investor of
Andrew’s calibre,” Benjamin said.
In other news, last month, Neuberger Berman appointed Charles
Soullard to lead the firm’s French client efforts, reporting to
Dik van Lomwel, head of EMEA and Latin America.
Neuberger Berman is also planning to introduce a European high
yield fund for non-US investors as part of the firm’s growing
UCITS fund platform.
Neuberger Berman had approximately $18 billion in assets as at 31
March 2014.
