Jones comes to the role from National Australia Bank where he was a proprietary trader. He has 17 years experience in financial markets, having previously worked for the Royal Bank of Canada, Macquarie Bank and Société Générale.

Strategies adopted in the Asset Allocation Alpha Fund are thematic and concentrate on exploiting trends, likely developments and mis-pricing in global asset markets, BlackRock stated.

Jones will report to lead portfolio manager David Hudson.

Announcing the appointment, Hudson said Jones’ risk management philosophy was aligned with BlackRock’s, and that the company respected his fundamental approach to investing.
