Two investment firms have announced appointments to bolster their investment strategy capabilities.
The $1.3 trillion Northern Trust Asset Management has appointed Gary Paulin as chief investment strategist, International and Joseph Tanious as chief investment strategist, North America.
Paulin has been with the firm for nine years, most recently heading up international enterprise client solutions, but with more than 25 years of experience in asset management and capital markets, including in the UK and New Zealand. He was previously with equity brokerage Aviate Global LLP which was acquired by NTAM in 2016.
Tanious is a new hire, previously a managing director and head of portfolio strategy and construction at Bessemer Trust. Also a 25-year veteran of the investment industry, he has held roles at JP Morgan as a global market strategist, and with Wells Fargo Asset Management as an institutional sales professional.
The duo will be responsible for helping to build market views among NTAM’s investment team in equities, fixed income, multi asset, and alternatives. They will also work on research into new and burgeoning investment instruments and strategies and work with teams in institutional, family office, and wealth client groups to implement insights.
They will report to global co-chief investment officers Michael Hunstad and Chris Roth.
“Gary and Joseph have deep capital markets expertise and a keen understanding of the trends shaping global markets. Their expertise will be invaluable as we support our clients through changing market environments and evolving risk profiles,” Roth said.
Meanwhile, at Russell Investments, Paul Eitelman has been appointed global chief investment strategist. He has been with the firm for 10 years and was most recently chief investment strategist for North America.
His 20 year career includes more than three years as vice-president and senior economist at JP Morgan Private Bank in New York and two years as a senior research assistant at the Federal Reserve Board.
