M&G Investments has appointed a chief investment officer to lead its £57bn equities division as part of its commitment to revitalise its active equity investment capabilities.
Fabiana Fedeli (pictured) will take on the newly created role, reporting to M&G’s chief investment officer, Jack Daniels. She joins the business on 23 August and will be based in London.
As part of the revitalisation announced last year, M&G said it wanted to deliver more consistent investment performance and develop strategies that met evolving consumer needs.
This included the recent launch of its impact range, which tackle global challenges such as climate change and healthcare.
Prior to joining M&G, Fedeli was global head of fundamental equities at Robeco Asset Management, with direct responsibility for three active equity strategies.
M&G CIO Daniels said: “Equities will always have an essential role to play in an investor’s portfolio and we believe that active equity management will deliver greater value for clients over the long-term. [This] appointment demonstrates our commitment to this vital asset class, bringing a wealth of investment experience in both equities and sustainability.”
