Based in Capital Group’s London office, Peró Gala will report to Scott Steele, Capital Group’s fixed income asset class lead for Europe and Asia.

His appointment is part of our strategic plan to provide more investors in Europe with access to Capital Group’s long-standing fixed income strategies.
“The return of income to fixed income means investors can now utilise high-quality bonds for attractive yields and future income. Álvaro will be vital in ensuring that our clients leverage these opportunities.”
