CFSGAM makes two senior appointments
Colonial First State Global Asset Management (CFSGAM) has appointed Paul Griffiths to the role of chief investment officer, fixed interest and credit, based in London.
With 22 years' experience in fixed income, he joins the group from Aberdeen Asset Management where he was global head of fixed income.
Before that, he held a similar role at AXA Investment Managers, as well as being the UK chief executive.
Along with fixed interest and credit, Griffiths will also be responsible for short-term investment for the global emerging markets debt teams. As a result, current head of fixed interest and credit Tony Adams, head of short-term investment Tony Togher and head of global emerging market debt Helene Williamson will report to Griffiths once he commences his new role on 1 July.
CFSGAM chief executive Mark Lazberger said the appointment demonstrates the firm's commitment to strengthening its current offering in these asset classes.
The group's announcement follows the appointment of Pablo Kohen as a senior analyst within the global listed infrastructure team.
Head of global infrastructure securities Peter Meany said Kohen will add significant depth to the team at a time when global demand for the asset class is rising.
"The outlook for global listed infrastructure remains positive. We see a number of themes which are supportive of infrastructure continuing to deliver strong absolute and relative returns," Meany said.
Kohen joins the firm from specialist infrastructure management firm Access Capital Advisers, where he was an associate director. Prior to this, he worked for Credit Suisse Equities as a research analyst.
