Schroders has strengthened its fixed income team with the appointment of Jean-Christophe Alario as a quantitative analyst.
He will report to Paul Grainger, head of global multi-sector fixed income, and will focus on developing a variety of models and tools to support the fixed income team’s investment process.
Alario brings with him over 10 years of experience in asset management. Prior to joining Schroders he was a senior investment risk manager at Pictet Asset Management. He has previously held roles at Rogge Global Partners, Primergy Capital Partners and RAB Capital.
In addition, Marcus Jennings has joined the fixed income team in a newly created role as a Strategist, responsible for providing in-depth analysis of global markets and economies. Jennings will report to Bob Jolly, head of global macro strategy. Prior to joining the team Jennings was a graduate in the economics team at Schroders.
Philippe Lespinard (pictured), co-head of fixed income, says: “The hires of Jean-Christophe and Marcus help to further grow and strengthen our fixed income business. Both bring with them significant skills and expertise which make them a perfect fit for the team.
“We anticipate that the arrival of Jean-Christophe will enhance our quantitative research. This, together with the expanded in-depth analysis of global markets and economies from Marcus Jennings, will further improve our investment proposition for our clients.”
