Columbia Threadneedle has named Fanni Pfeningberger as active ETF business development manager after the firm’s active ETF range launch in Europe.
She joins from BlackRock, where she was responsible for institutional and wealth sales across Central and Eastern Europe.
The appointment follows the recent launch of its CT QR Series Active ETFs in Europe. The four strategies have listed on the Deutsche Börse Xetra and SIX Swiss Exchange, with a listing on the London Stock Exchange due in the coming weeks.
Christine Cantrell, head of active ETFs, distribution, Emea, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Fanni to our team. Her deep knowledge of diverse clients’ investment practices, her consultative approach and ability to provide a value-add service to clients will be instrumental in accelerating the growth of our active ETF offering.”
