Harvest Hires

Chua joins from Harvest Global Investments as the third hire from the Chinese asset manager to LOIM this year.

In March, LOIM also added ex-Harvest portfolio manager and investment analyst, Henry Zhang and Faye Gao, respectively, to the Asian and emerging market equities platform.

LOIM has also hired Arnaud d’Aligny as a Geneva-based portfolio manager for European equities.

He was previously a partner and lead portfolio manager of sustainability-focused strategies investing in all-cap European equities at Sycomore Asset Management. 

At LOIM, d’Aligny will oversee the strategy for European equities, working closely with Johan Utterman and his team to drive forward the pan-European and Swiss equities franchises which have $3.7 billion in AUMs.
