Rees joined the multi-manager team in 2005 and started at Premier Miton in 2000. He will begin his new role on 1 July, overseeing a range of eight funds including the Multi-Asset Distribution fund.
“I am delighted to be taking on the role of head of Premier Miton’s multi-manager team. We have a well-established team and a proven investment approach that has been honed over many years of managing multi-asset multi-manager income, growth and risk-targeted funds at Premier Miton,” Rees said.
“Investors can feel reassured that the funds will continue to be managed in the same way, using the team’s broad experience and specialist skills to deliver good investment outcomes for our clients.”
