He joins the 60-strong team later this week (8 September).
Scheiber joins from Aethra Asset Management where he was a partner and fund manager in the firm’s asset allocation team. While at Aethra AM he had responsibility for managing absolute return mandates and a hedge fund, as well as setting up a qualitative and quantitative investment process.
He has been actively working in asset allocation since 2004 with ABN Amro Asset Management -becoming Fortis Investments in 2008 – as a tactical asset allocation portfolio manager and strategist.
He has also managed institutional global portfolios and European bonds where he had a specific focus on managing fixed income portfolios on an absolute return basis.
Nico Marais, head of multi-asset investment and portfolio solutions, said: “Our multi-asset business has grown rapidly over the past 5 years and we are keen to build on this momentum. We continue to deepen our multi-asset investment process especially in the area of research and product innovation and Matthias will be a key contributor to this.”
Scheiber’s recruitment follows the recent hires of Aymeric Forest, Rob Hall and Garth Taljard.
