He will report to Nick Hartley, head of inflation plus strategies within LGIM’s active equities team.
Masding joins from Longview Partners, where he was a partner and global equities research analyst.
His appointment follows that of Stephen Message to the active equity team earlier this month.

The L&G Real Income Builder Fund was launched in January 2015. It aims to generate an income that grows by 4% more than UK inflation per annum and a total return of 4% more than UK inflation per annum if the income is reinvested.
