BTIM appoints Vimal Gor as Head of Income Strategies
This month BT Investment Management (BTIM) appointed Vimal Gor as Head of Income and Fixed Interest. The appointment follows the consolidation of BTIM’s Cash, Credit and Fixed Interest resources into a single, expanded Income Boutique, which was announced to the market in March.
Emilio Gonzalez, CEO of BTIM said: “The reason for the expansion of the Income Boutique and the creation of the new role was two-fold: firstly to provide greater clarity of structure for clients around our extensive capabilities in Cash, Credit, and sovereign Fixed Income, and secondly to provide greater focus and resourcing in this part of our business.”
Prior to joining BTIM in November 2009, Vimal spent ten years at Aviva Investors in London, where he was responsible for the management of the Global Aggregate Bond portfolios. He was a key member of a team managing around US$40 billion, including US$1 billion in fixed income hedge fund assets. He has particular experience trading in US and Japanese markets, as well as extensive knowledge of the Australian market having previously managed Australian bonds, derivatives and foreign exchange for over fifteen years.
Martin Franc, Head of Sales & Marketing said that one of Vimal’s immediate priorities will be meeting with intermediaries to understand client needs so that BT Investment Management can deliver the right products in a segment that will be a growing part of peoples’ portfolios.
“We are excited by these developments and the opportunities this offers and look forward to working with advisers in meeting the needs of your clients.”
