AMP Capital appoints new executive, fund on hold
AMP Capital Investors has recruited Ella Brown to the newly created role of head of fundamental equities to oversee the Asian, capital, sustainable and New Zealand equities teams.
Brown joined the investment management industry over 20 years ago, having previously worked at ABN AMRO Asset Management in London as global head of equity research, Credit Suisse Asset Management and JP Morgan Investments in London.
Meanwhile, researcher Standard & Poor’s Fund Services (S&P) placed its Asian Equity Gr – Class A Fund ‘on hold’, after head of Asian equities Karma Wilson (pictured) announced her intention to leave AMP Capital in August.
The company is currently searching for Wilson’s permanent replacement, and in the meantime has appointed senior managers Ragu Sivanesarajah and Jonathan Reoch as acting co-heads of Asian equities.
“Wilson has more than 17 years experience and we considered her a strong leader of the Sydney-based team,” S&P stated in its announcement.
The research house is scheduled to start the emerging markets sector review in September, and confirmed it would visit AMP Capital and seek to resolve the ‘on hold’ status at that time.
Brown’s new role will be based in Sydney, and she will report to AMP Capital’s chief investment officer, David Kiddie.
