According to a statement, Angus Woolhouse has joined investment manager Insight Investment following two decades of experience in the asset management industry and has been in his new London-based role for two months.
Most recently, he was global head of distribution at Baring Asset Management for three years and eight months.
Insight Investment chief executive Abdallah Nauphal said Mr Woolhouse had joined the company in a period of growth.
“Throughout his career, Angus has built a wealth of experience within asset management in a variety of key industry roles,” Mr Nauphal said.
“As we continue to expand our business globally, his expert and practical knowledge will be invaluable to our business, our clients and their advisers as we seek to continue to evolve and uphold the highest standards in all aspects of our distribution strategy.”
Separately, former Macquarie Group division director of fixed interest, currencies and commodities Adam Kibble joined Insight Investment’s Australian team four months ago as product specialist.
Mr Kibble reports to Insight Investment Australia and New Zealand director Bruce Murphy.
