Swiss-based online wealth manager has appointed Romain Boscher as global chief investment officer of equities, effective 30 April. He will be located in London.

Boscher has over 25 years’ experience in the industry and joins from Amundi Asset Management, where he has been Head of Equities for the last seven years. Prior to this, he spent 11 years at Groupama in a range of senior investment roles including deputy chief executive and CIO.

He will report to Bart Grenier, global head of asset management, and will be a member of Fidelity International’s global operating committee.

Fidelity International’s equity portfolio management teams led by Paras Anand (CIO equities, Europe), Takashi Maruyama (CIO equities, Japan) and Tim Orchard (CIO equities, Asia-Pacific ex-Japan) will report into Boscher, as will the global equity research function led by Henk-Jan Rikkerink.

Boscher replaces Dominic Rossi who announced last year that he would be stepping down in early 2018 to focus on public policy within the business.
