Active investment management firm, Man Group has recruited industry veteran, Simon Finch to the newly-created role of Chief Investment Officer of Credit at its discretionary investment management engine, Man GLG.

The company announced the appointment in late March and said Finch would be responsible for Man GLG’s credit business and would have oversight of the credit portfolio management teams.

He will report to Teun Johnston, chief executive of Man GLG, and will work closely with Man GLG’s CIO Pierre-Henri Flamand and Man Group’s CIO Sandy Rattray as well as joining Man Group’s Executive Committee and Man GLG’s management team.

 The company announcement said Finch had 25 years of experience in credit investing and joined Man GLG from CQS, where he was CIO and ran the firm’s multi-asset credit fund. He joined CQS in 2004, and his career also includes roles at Abbey National, where he was head of portfolio management.  

 Commenting on the appointment, Johnston said Finch’s extensive expertise and proven track record in credit investing would be highly valuable as the firm continued to build its credit offering and further develop its suite of products.

“He will oversee each of our credit investment teams, bringing to bear a wealth of experience and know-how in this space. We are very excited about the contribution he will make and we look forward to welcoming him to the firm,” he said.
