ATLANTA, May 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Invesco
Perpetual today announced that Sebastian Mackay will join its Multi Asset
team as a fund manager in September
2016.
Sebastian joins from Standard Life Investments (SLI) where he
was an investment director/portfolio manager on its absolute return
global bond strategy, and a member of the global absolute return
strategy portfolio construction team. Sebastian started his career
in 2000 at Scottish Widows Investment Partnership (SWIP) where he
held a number of roles before joining SLI in 2011.
David Millar, Head of Multi
Asset at Invesco Perpetual, said, "I am really looking forward
to working with Sebastian again. His strong macro background from
time as an economist on the Bond team with me at Scottish Widows
Investment Partnership, combined with the extensive fund management
expertise he gained both there and at Standard Life Investments,
makes him the ideal candidate to take forward our offering into the
multi-asset targeted income space."
Sebastian will join a ten-strong Multi Asset team led by
David Millar, which includes fund
managers, Dave Jubb and Richard Batty; product directors, Danielle Singer, Georgina Taylor, and Clive Emery plus risk manager, Gwilym Satchell. In 2013, Invesco launched the
Invesco Perpetual Global Targeted Returns Strategy which has assets
under management (AUM) of $13.1bn*.
Invesco is focused on building a market-leading franchise in
multi asset investing to meet the needs of advisers and their
clients.
Chris Lyes, Head of UK Retail
Sales, Invesco Perpetual, said, "Income is important to many
clients and, with Sebastian joining our multi-asset team, this
allows us the opportunity to further develop our product offering
by focusing on those clients seeking an income solution.
Conversations with our clients tell us that there is strong need
for an income type product and it would be a natural progression
for Invesco Perpetual, given our proven record as providers of both
income and multi-asset investing."
*As at March 31, 2016. Represents
assets of all vehicles of the Global Targeted Returns Strategy.
