Tabula Investment Management has appointed Rhys Petheram (pictured) as CIO, following Janus Henderson’s acquisition of the firm earlier this year.
He succeeds Jason Smith, who held the role for five years.
Most recently, Petheram was head of environmental investment solutions at Jupiter Asset Management, where he spent 17 years managing a range of multi-asset and fixed income portfolios.
Meanwhile, the firm has also hired Adam Glen-Bott to its investment team, with a focus on equities. He was previously a quantitative researcher and portfolio manager at UBS.
Michael John Lytle, Tabula CEO, said: “The European ETF market has been experiencing robust growth and rapid evolution for years.
“The role of active management in shaping the industry is a new challenge – how to evolve in a way that simplifies and enhances the investments available to investors. The US has seen an explosion of active ETFs. Europe rarely copies, though often echoes, trends in the US.
“As a firm, we are only relevant to investors when we offer differentiated solutions that improve the performance of their portfolios. Rhys and Adam join us at perfect time, bringing extensive experience in active fund management, ESG investing and quantitative index portfolio management. Their expertise will enable us to fully leverage the significant advantages of being part of the Janus Henderson Group.”
