Aberdeen has made two new appointments to its Australian fixed income team.
John Manning will utilise his 22 years experience to move into the role of investment manager and senior credit analyst. Previously, he was director of credit strategy for Australia and New Zealand at Royal Bank of Scotland.
David Choi joins Aberdeen's fixed income team as assistant investment manager. He has experience in portfolio management at NSW Treasury Corporation.
Aberdeen head of Australian fixed income Victor Rodriguez said Manning's credit analysis skills and Choi's knowledge of rates strategy would stand the team in good stead.
"Both appointments reinforce our strong Australian fixed income business, enhance our multi-strategy team-based approach to fixed income investing and affirm our commitment to our fixed income clients," Rodriguez said.
