The Baltimore-based asset manager confirmed that Samouilhan will be officially joining its EMEA multi-asset group in November.
The announcement was made one day after his departure from Aviva Investors was announced.
Samouilhan had been working as a multi-asset fund manager at Aviva Investors since 2010, eventually ascending the ranks to senior fund manager, working alongside Paul Parascandalo, Thomas Wells and team leader Peter Fitzgerald.
He began his career as an analyst on the multi-asset desk in Investec Asset Management.
At T. Rowe Price, he will work with former Axa Investment Managers head of multi-asset investments Yoram Lustig, who was poached by the firm in June to be its EMEA multi-asset head.
Last June the firm also recruited Lowell Yura as head of multi-asset solutions for North America.
While T. Rowe price has declined to comment about Samouilhan’s hire at this stage, the group’s head of asset allocation Sebastien Page stated that “growing our multi-asset solutions business is a strategic priority,” following Lustig’s appointment.
