Aviva Investors multi-asset portfolio manager Guillaume Paillat (pictured) has left the firm after six years.

A spokesperson confirm he exited last month to take a role overseas in order to be closer to his family.

He is a named manager on the firm’s Multi-Asset Plus range, alongside co-managers Sunil Krishnan and Baylee Wakefield.

Aviva confirmed the process of its 40-strong multi-asset team will remain unchanged, with a co-manager approach taken on all of the firm’s strategies.

Aviva’s multi-asset team integrated the investment solutions team, led by Khan Follina, into its multi-asset division in June.

Paillat joined Aviva Investors from First State Investments in 2018, where he managed multi-asset portfolios.

He previously ran global fixed income portfolios with Colonial First State in Sydney after beginning his career with AXA Investment Managers.
