This appointment follows an earlier senior hire in July, with Marty Dropkin being made head of equities for Asia Pacific at the firm.
Haubelt and Dropkin will be jointly accountable for the global direction and delivery of Fidelity's equities business. Both report into Andrew McCaffery, Fidelity's global chief investment officer.
McCaffery commented: "We are pleased to welcome Ilga to Fidelity. Ilga and Marty's combined depth of investment knowledge, breadth of experience and strong track-record will be invaluable as we deliver investment performance for our clients and place sustainability considerations at the heart of everything we do."
