The Multi-Asset Management team express tactical and strategic asset allocation positions, often via the derivatives markets, but also by trading in collective funds or allocating between asset classes. The team as a whole run a growing portfolio of absolute return and liability plus funds. These offer a good multi-asset manager freedom to invest in best ideas across currencies, bond markets, equity markets, relative value trades and even alternatives such as catastrophe risk.

“We are delighted that Guy has decided to join our team and expect that his contribution to the award-winning multi-asset fund management capability we have at Standard Life Investments, will be substantial. Guy will be responsible for managing the team which runs some of our highest profile funds and our demands are therefore high.

Every level of our investment process will benefit from Guy’s contribution - from investment idea origination, through portfolio construction to implementation. We are delighted to have him on board.”
