PGIM Fixed Income, a global asset manager offering active solutions across all fixed income markets with USD954 billion in assets under management, has hired Guillermo Felices as global investment strategist in London, effective immediately.
Felices will work under Gregory Peters, PGIM Fixed Income managing director and head of multi-sector and strategy.
PGIM Fixed Income is part of PGIM, the global investment management business of US-based Prudential Financial, Inc (PFI) (NYSE: PRU) and one of the world’s top 10 asset managers with more than USD1.5 trillion in assets under management.
Felices joins from BNP Paribas Asset Management where he was global head of investment strategy and a member of the multi-asset investment committee and helped oversee the firm’s multi-asset portfolio asset allocation. Previously he was the Head of Asset Allocation Research (Europe) at Barclays and before that a Senior Macro Strategist at Citi. He started his career at the Bank of England where he was a Senior Economist in his last role. He holds a PhD and an MA in Economics from New York University.
Peters says: “As our European client base continues to grow, PGIM Fixed Income is expanding our investment team with the local and regional expertise to navigate the European and global credit markets. Guillermo’s wealth of experience grounded in fundamental research and portfolio management will prove critical in identifying opportunities, managing risk, and driving alpha in the current low-rate environment.”
