Guy Stern has been appointed to the board as head of multi-asset and macro investing, after Euan Munro left to take a new senior management role.
Mr Stern has been responsible for the daily running of multi-asset investments since 2008 and has 30 years’ experience in financial services.
“He will be a very valuable addition to the executive team, bringing a wide range of skills, knowledge and expertise in the areas of multi-asset and macro Investing,” Standard Life Investments chief executive Keith Keoch said in a statement.
“Our team-based culture means that Standard Life Investments is able to implement these changes with immediate effect, with minimal disruption.
“The very strong, cross-team base of intellectual capital that underpins our multi-asset investment capabilities has been sustained by Guy’s appointment and gives us confidence that we will continue to produce strong fund performance and innovation for our clients in the future.”
Mr Stem will be reporting to Standard Life Investments’ chief investment officer Rod Paris as a member of the board.
