Effective with immediate effect, the appointment of Michael Bell will see him work under Stephanie Flanders, JPMAM’s chief market strategist for UK and Europe.
Based out of the firm’s London branch, Bell will focus on looking through short-term market swings and uncertainty in order to assist financial advisers and institutional investors in making investment decisions.
“We are thrilled to welcome Bell,” said Flanders. “His investment expertise and capital markets background will enhance our team’s research-driven approach.
“Our focus remains on cutting through the noise to help investors understand what is happening in the UK and global economy and why it matters to them and their financial future.”
Arriving from a seven-year investment strategist berth with C. Hoare and Co., Bell replaces Kerry Craig, who recently moved to JPMAM’s Australia office to head up development of the regional Market Insights programme.
