Sarasin & Partners has promoted Subitha Subramaniam (pictured) to head of investment strategy amid a wider shake up of the firm’s asset management leadership structure.

Subramaniam’s previous role as head of asset management has been taken up by investment manager and partner Sam Jeffries.

The firm said the changes were part of a reshaping process to position the business for future growth.

Guy Matthews, managing partner at Sarasin & Partners, said: “The structural evolution of our asset management team positions our business for future growth.

“It also ensures we can continue delivering client-focused solutions that capitalise on the global trends shaping our investment landscape.”

Sarasin’s investment approach focuses on five key megatrends – digitalisation, automation, ageing, evolving consumption and climate change.

The firm has made a series of hires to its investment team over the past year, including Cédric Phounpadith as head of investment risk, and multi-asset portfolio managers Alastair Baker and Michael Jervis.

Last month, Tom Wildgoose was appointed as senior global equity portfolio manager.
