AMP Capital Investors expands fixed income team
There have been several new hires at AMP Capital Investors’ fixed income team, with the appointment of Sonia Baillie as the senior portfolio manager, and the recruitment of three additional analysts within the credit research and analysis team.
Sonnia Baillie’s appointment follows former fixed income senior portfolio manager Andrew Lally’s transfer to the Australian equities team.
Baillie joined AMP Capital from Nomura, where she was most recently the head of credit desk analysts. With more than 10 years of industry experience, she also held roles with UBS Global Asset Management, Colonial First State Investments and Westpac Financial markets.
In her new role, she will lead the fixed income team’s credit research effort, which includes a team of eight credit analysts responsible for security selection across AMP Capital’s $30 billion fixed income business.
AMP Capital Investors also appointed Joyce Yu, Tim Jarvis and Veronica Raic as analysts to the credit research and analysis team, and Steven Hur as its portfolio manager.
The company also advised it is in the process of appointing an additional portfolio manager to credit and research analysis within fixed income.
AMP Capital head of fixed income, Mark Beardow, said the growth of the fixed team is due to increasing client interest in the asset class.
