As global client senior director, Duce now reports directly to global head of distribution Campbell Fleming.
He will work with Aberdeen’s regional heads of distribution to better facilitate the promotion of the group’s investment capabilities, services and engagement with clients.
Duce was previously a director on the multi-asset team.
Following the move, his responsibilities have been shared between colleagues, including Simon Wood, head of manager research, and his six-strong team.
Fleming said: “Graham was the first appointment I made when I joined Aberdeen. He brings to the distribution team a wealth of product and investment knowledge as well as vital client relationship experience.”
Duce commented: “The chance to work with Campbell was compelling. Aberdeen has a great global distribution platform and my new role gives me the opportunity to help build on the strong foundations that have been established.”
