PIMCO's current CEO, Douglas Hodge, was expected to assume the role of managing director and senior adviser on 1 November, when Roman would become the new CEO.

The Californian-based company said it wanted to hire a senior executive who understood the company's operations and focus, while it could add leadership and strategic insights to the group.

Roman's appointment had the full support of the firm's leadership, which included PIMCO's president, Jay Jacobs, the firm's executive committee, and its managing directors, the global investment manager said.

He would be based at PIMCO's headquarters in Newport Beach, California.

PIMCO's group chief investment officer, Daniel Ivascyn, said Roman's deep understanding of global markets, investment management, and appreciation of PIMCO's macro-based investment processes would make him the ideal executive to position the firm for its long-term success.
