Kevin Loome has been hired as head of credit, US, alongside five colleagues from Delaware Investments.
The team comprises Charles Devereux (head analyst), senior analysts Devon Everhart and Douglas Zinser, and Matthew Fanandakis (analyst) and Gregg Gola (trader/analyst).
Reporting directly to global head of credit, Stephen Thariyan, the team will complement Henderson’s existing European fixed income offering. The asset manager has a total of £17bn in fixed income AUM.
Jim Irvine, head of fixed income at Henderson, said: “Given the increasing client demand for global credit strategies and a desire to build upon the success of our existing award winning credit team, we have long intended to build out a truly global fixed income platform.
“It was important to us that we did so by sourcing, not only a team with top line performance across the retail and institutional market but also one that would be a cultural fit with our existing team.”
