Victoria Robinson will return to Nomura as a portfolio manager on the $3.7bn(£2.7bn) Nomura Global Dynamic Bond fund.
Reporting to fund manager Dickie Hodges (pictured), Robinson will focus on the generation of total return trade ideas for the fund, particularly in emerging markets and derivative-based hedging.
Robinson joined Nomura in 2011, before leaving for a two year stint at RBC Wealth Management in 2019.
Hodges said of Robinson’s return: “I am delighted that Victoria is joining us – her skills and experience in managing emerging market and currency positions and risks, particularly through the use of options and other financial derivative instruments, are of particular value to us.”
The Nomura Global Dynamic Bond fund returned 25% over three years, almost double the IA Sterling Strategic Bond benchmark of 13.9%, according to Trustnet.
The fund seeks to provide a combination of income and growth via investing in debt and debt-related securities with fixed or variable rates of income. It is unconstrained by benchmark allocations and seeks to maximise total return while reducing volatility through allocation to a wide range of bond sectors.
