The Zurich-based private bank is reshuffling its bond team as it created a new group for global flexible investments.
Swiss bank Vontobel appointed Ludovic Colin as head of the newly created Global Flexible Investment team within Vontobel Asset Management’s Fixed Income boutique. Colin started in his new role this month, the bank said in a statement today. He is also the leading portfolio manager for the absolute return bond products.
Colin joined Vontobel asset management in 2015 as senior portfolio manager. He used to work as cross-asset macro specialist at Goldman Sachs and portfolio manager at Amundi in London.
Colin's Deputy
Colin's deputy is Jack Loudoun, who joined the bank a year ago. Loudoun previously was at Invesco and Deutsche Asset & Wealth Management. Hérve Hanoune will remain the leading portfolio manager for the Vontobel Fund – Bond Global Aggregate with Colin as his deputy.
Vontobel's fixed-income boutique in Zurich was founded in 1988 and focuses on four actively managed product lines: global and Swiss bonds, corporate and emerging market bonds as well as global flexible bonds.
The boutique has 24 asset allocation experts with an average 15 years of experience.
