Based in London, Mueller will begin in March and be responsible for ‘spearheading’ growth in Eaton Vance’s global corporate credit capabilities. He will lead investment management and credit research for all non-US high yield investments.
Mueller has been at Threadneedle since 2009 managing European high yield credit portfolios and research coverage of the automobile, industrials and services sectors.
Previously he spent six years as a European sub-investment-grade research analyst and trader for Centaurus Capital and Amaranth Advisors, also in London.
“Jeff’s skills and experience will enable us to further develop the scope and scale of our London-based global corporate credit capabilities,” said Michael Weilheimer, director of high yield.
“Our team’s research analysts have long maintained significant coverage of non-U.S. credits. Jeff’s addition to the team allows us to leverage existing investment capabilities while enhancing the depth of our research and the reach of our global presence. We plan to hire additional global credit analysts later this year who will report to Jeff.”
