Seven firms hiring through Covid-19 period

Fear of job losses may hang heavily in the air, but some firms in asset management and asset servicing have nevertheless appointed people to newly created positions through the Covid-19 period of uncertainty.

Newly created positions, at least when senior, can be a sign not only of a firm’s business direction, but also of where it will be hiring.

If you feel you’ve got the right CV and want a change, here are some firms that have made recent new hires that might consider you.

Specialist fund administrator Sanne appointed a global head of private debt, based in London. Demand for this alternative form of fixed income appears to show ongoing demand despite Covid-19.

Capital Group appointed a global head of ESG when Jessica Ground joined the firm from Schroders.

PGIM appointed a chief economist for fixed income – a move that came not long after the firm’s real estate division opened and hired for an Italian office.

The recently merged Federated Hermes, the firm hired a fixed income investment director.

 In the world of ‘ManCos’, Carne Group appointed Bill Gourlay to a global relationship management role, announced in April.

Although before the full onslaught of Covid-19, specialist admin provider IQ-EQ appoint a UK and Ireland managing director.

And finally, Dublin-based fund manager Mediolanum has made a number of hires in recent months. Furio Pietribiasi, managing director, said the firm was investing in “new competencies and expanding the existing expertise”.
