Robeco has hired Matthew Jackson for the Global Credit Team as a senior IG credit portfolio manager, and is based in London.
He joins Robeco from Western Asset Management where he was a portfolio manager for numerous global, euro and UK investment grade credit funds and mandates. His career in the financial industry started in 2003 at Western Asset Management where he held roles in risk, portfolio, and research analysis.
In addition to Jackson, the team has also been bolstered by the arrival of two senior analysts, Yadeesh Moorthy and Atif Ali. Atif, has previously worked at hedge funds Citadel and Ardent and investment banks Citigroup and Credit Suisse. His main focus will be financials. Yadeesh, who joined Robeco from UBP and M&G, will be covering consumer cyclicals.
Joop Kohler, head of Credits at Robeco said: “We continue to deepen the bench on both portfolio management and analyst teams. Growing requests for credits and increasing demand for customized solutions, led us to scale up our portfolio management capacity.
"In the coming months we will add more junior analysts that join us from our international trainee-program. We believe that the enhancements prepare us for future growth and show our commitment to developing and retaining top investment talent within our global credit team. We’re excited that Matthew, Yadeesh and Atif have strengthened our team. These new arrivals to the Global Credit Team will be based in London, solidifying our London office as talent and investment hub”.
