FE fundinfo’s Charles Younes is leaving the firm to pursue a “new chapter”, according to a LinkedIn post published today (9 March 2026).
Younes, who had spent two and-a-half years as the firm’s deputy chief investment officer, totalled 14 years at the company, having joined in 2012 as head of manager research. Prior to this, he worked as a hedge fund analyst at Amundi Alternative Investments, and had also held a similar role at AMlab.

Commenting on LinkedIn, Younes said: “Over recent months, I have been working closely with the leadership team on the strategic direction of FEI. Through those conversations, we collectively agreed that now is the right time for a change. I leave with genuine appreciation for the support FE fundinfo has shown me as I take this positive step forward.”
The deputy CIO explained that, while he takes time to “explore and evaluate” his long-term professional journey, he will serve as acting director at investment consulting firm Mc3 Conseils.
“This role allows me to stay deeply engaged with the industry and apply my experience to strategic projects in the interim,” Younes said. “However, my primary focus is finding the right ‘next home’ where I can contribute my leadership and investment expertise to a new set of challenges.”

“I am very much looking forward to re-engaging with my industry peers, catching up on market trends, and discussing potential future opportunities. To my colleagues and friends made over the last decade – thank you for everything.”
Commenting on the departure, a spokesperson from FE fundinfo said: “We appreciate Charles’ long-standing service for FE fundinfo and FE Investments and have decided through mutual agreement that now is the right time for a change. We thank Charles for his hard work and wish him the best of luck with future opportunities.”
