Realindex appoints senior quant manager
First Sentier Investors-owned systemic equities manager Realindex Investments has appointed Dr Joanna Nash to the newly-created role of senior quantitative portfolio manager.
Nash has 13 years’ experience in quantitative investment, including senior roles at Acadian where she was a senior portfolio manager.
She was also a portfolio manager within scientific equities for BlackRock, ran index portfolios and was head of sustainable investment in Australia.
Andrew Francis, chief executive, said Nash brought significant experience in quantitative investment management and product development to the firm.
“Moreover, Joanna’s experience in sustainable investment will be valuable, as clients increasingly look to us for systematic strategies that take into account environmental, social and governance considerations,” Francis said.
Nash said she looked forward to playing a key role in the growth of Realindex’s quantitative investment strategies.
“With the increased focus on sustainable investing by clients, I’m looking forward to adding to Realindex’s capabilities,” Nash said.
Nash held CFA accreditation and had a PhD in economics from Yale University.
