Schroders has appointed Robbie Boukhoufane and Alan Wilson as portfolio managers within the global multi-sector fixed income team.
In his new role, Boukhoufane will focus on building and expressing the team’s macro views in rates and currency markets.
Boukhoufane has been at Schroders for over six years and has over 20 years of experience working in fixed income and foreign exchange (FX) trading, having been global head of fixed income and FX trading at Schroders since 2016.
In this role, Boukhoufane managed the firm’s fixed income execution with a team of 20 specialist traders across four regional desks.
Prior to Schroders, Boukhoufane was head of FX Trading from 2012 to 2016, which involved working across a number of FX desks.
Alan Wilson joined from State Street Global Advisors where he was a senior portfolio manager focusing on global rates and FX.
Prior to this, Wilson worked within the global macro team at Aberdeen, where he started his career in 2010.
Wilson will be focusing on global macro strategies and working with the team to add alpha across the full range of multi-sector fixed income portfolios.
Paul Grainger, head of global multi-sector fixed income, said: “We’re delighted with the addition of two highly experienced and talented individuals to the team. Robbie Boukhoufane has exceptional experience in the field. He has been working alongside and adding value to the team for over six years and he is already well embedded within the team’s investment process and philosophy, so this will be a natural transition.”
He added: “We are constantly on the lookout for talented individuals that will be additive to the team and investment process. In line with this, we recently hired Alan Wilson who has strong experience in global rates and FX.”
