Nicolas Jullien, CFA (pictured), who has been with Candriam for 17 years and serves as head of high yield and credit arbitrage, will be succeeding Philippe Noyard as the global head of fixed income, effective 1 January 2025, ahead of Noyard’s planned retirement in Q1 2025.

Jullien’s career at Candriam has been marked by his long-standing collaboration with Noyard and Nicolas Forest, CIO, since he joined the company in 2007. This partnership, spanning 17 years, and Jullien’s continuing work in advancing Candriam’s fixed income platform, make his appointment as Noyard’s successor a natural and well-deserved promotion, the firm said in a statement.

In his expanded role – whilst continuing to lead the high yield and credit arbitrage team – Jullien will lead the fixed income leadership team, collectively managing €32 billion ($35.59 billion) in assets.

Candriam, which has been managing fixed income portfolios for over 30 years, offers solutions that span European and global bond markets with a strong emphasis on ESG principles.

Premier Miton
has promoted Aidan Grant to partner in the tax and estate planning team in the private wealth department – effective from 20 September 2024.

Grant, who joined Collyer Bristow in 2016, advises resident non-domiciliaries, UK and international trustees and domestic clients on matters spanning pre-immigration planning, residency and domicile rules, international tax planning and UK wills and estate planning. In particular, Grant’s work involves working with high net worth clients with UK/US interests, for example mixed domicile marriages, UK resident US citizens or UK resident beneficiaries of US trusts.

As part of his UK/US work, Grant has been hosting a podcast series, UK/USA, featuring regular guests from across the industry.

He also sits on the private client tax committee of the International Bar Association, and on the leadership committee of a UK-based networking group focusing on US/UK tax and estate planning professionals known as the US Future Partners Group.

Following Grant’s promotion there are now eight partners heading the busy tax and estate planning team advising clients on their succession planning and tax affairs.

“Aidan is an exceptional lawyer with huge amounts of energy and is enormously passionate about what he does. He is extremely well-regarded by clients for his expertise and his pragmatic approach to complex issues,” Peter Daniel, head of private wealth at Collyer Bristow, said.
