Charles Stanley has announced the hire a former global head of fixed income at Aviva Investors as its head of asset management.
Dan James joined the wealth manager in November to lead its asset management capability, reporting to chief executive Paul Abberley.
According to a press release, in the newly-created role he will focus on “building scale, growing revenue and driving future development”.
James exited Aviva Investors’ four-strong multi-asset team, along with Brendan Walsh, in 2018 as part of a raft of changes involved in the restructure of its multi-asset range.
In 2019 he set up Amherst Place Group Consulting, a consultancy “providing strategic insight and process enhancements and to facilitate access to the asset management community”, according to his Linkedin profile.
James has more than 25 years’ experience. Before Aviva Investors, he was head of short duration and absolute return at BNP Paribas Asset Management and has also occupied roles at Fortis Investments and ABN Amro Asset Management.
Abberley said: “Dan’s proven expertise, experience and industry know-how positions him well to advance our asset management capability and build on our reputation for delivering exceptional client service.”
