Fidelity International has appointed James Monk as an investment director in its Workplace Investing division.
Monk joined Fidelity at the start of this month from Aon UK, where he was previously head of DC investments. Monk’s duties at Aon included establishing UK DC Investment house perspectives, governing Aon’s UK DC Product, including Aon’s Master Trust, and putting employers’ and trustees’ advice on DC investment strategy into practice.
Monk will engage with some of Fidelity Workplace Investing’s major strategic clients as part of his responsibilities at Fidelity International. He will further develop FutureWise, the company’s default investment solution. Monk will also support the industry and clients in spreading important sustainability and investment messages.
Fidelity International head of workplace distribution Dan Smith says: “We are delighted to have James on board to support the evolution of our strategy for FutureWise. James has a wealth of experience when it comes to working with large strategic clients, and we look forward to having him as part of the Fidelity team.”
Monk says: “I’m thrilled to be part of the Fidelity family at such an exciting time of investment innovation. As part of my role in its Workplace Investing business, I will support the growth of its FutureWise product, which is well-established in the industry, and as such brings a wealth of opportunity for our clients and members alike.”
