He holds over 20 years’ experience in various roles including portfolio manager, portfolio assistant and analyst roles at BMO Global Asset Management, prior to its acquisition by Columbia Threadneedle, and F&C.
The move is the second addition to Aviva’s UK equities team this year, following the hire of Kunal Kothari as a portfolio manager in February, who also joined from CT.
