Ms Halley will be responsible for the generation, structuring and completion of new ideas across Aviva’s multi-asset portfolios, with a particular focus on its Multi-Strategy range.
“We are very pleased to welcome Emma to the team and look forward to benefiting from her experience as we continue to focus on strong idea generation to drive performance across our portfolios,” said CIO of Multi-asset and Micro Peter Fitzgerald.
“Her appointment follows the changes we made to our investment platform last year, establishing a combined multi-asset and macro function and materially increasing our equity capabilities.
“We believe we are now starting to see the benefit of the improved idea generation that has resulted from this across the portfolios.”
Ms Halley previously worked at Fulcrum Asset Management, where she was head of portfolio management, and spent four years in the global fixed income team at Schroders.
