AMP Capital makes new hire in London


AMP Capital has announced the appointment of Michel Debs as its new portfolio manager/analyst on the firm’s global listed infrastructure team, based in London.
He would be responsible for covering utilities infrastructure across Europe and Asia.
Debs, who has a decade of sell-side equity research experience, joined from Citi where he was most recently a director on the utilities research team, responsible for the coverage of multinational energy providers.
Prior to that, he served as a vice-president at Credit Suisse on the utilities research team, specialising in French utilities companies.
The firm said this appointment reflected the continued growth of AMP Capital’s real assets business.
AMP Capital’s head of Global Listed Infrastructure, Giuseppe Corona, said: “Michel’s appointment brings valuable utilities sector knowledge and skills to the existing expertise on the Global Listed Infrastructure team. We are excited to welcome him to our team.”
“It is increasingly vital for listed infrastructure investors to build a strong, deep and specialised investment team to analyse the investable universe and seek out the most attractive investment opportunities. Investors around the world are continuing to increase their allocation to infrastructure.”
The company’s global listed infrastructure team would have in total six senior investment professionals, located in London and Sydney.
