Federated Hermes – the result of a merger earlier this year between Federated Investors and Hermes Investment Management – has added Anna Karim as investment director in its fixed income team.
In this newly created role, Karim will be a client-facing representative of the fund manager’s fixed income capabilities including public credit, structured credit, private debt, asset-based debt and multi-asset credit.
Based in London, she reports to Mark Bruen, head of fixed income solutions. She joins from Bank of America Merrill Lynch, where she spent the last ten years of her career, most recently as a managing director.
Andrew Jackson, head of fixed income at the international business of Federated Hermes, said: “Clients are understanding that now more than ever, flexible and diligent fixed income investors can offer risk-adjusted returns through careful portfolio construction and risk management.”
