Aon has appointed Cathy Lewis to be a partner in its UK investment team.
Lewis joins from Kempen Capital Management UK, where she led its client team and helped build its fiduciary business. She has 25 years’ experience in the finance industry having previously been a client director at Legal & General Investment Management as well as working as an investment banker for Credit Suisse, JP Morgan and ING Bank.
In this new role Lewis will be part of the business development team within Aon’s delegated consulting solutions, working closely with its investment consultants and portfolio management and portfolio specialist teams.
Aon partner and defined benefit sales leader Vicky Kydoniefs says: “Lewis has joined our team at this exciting juncture where we are seeing more opportunities to help clients to enhance their defined benefit plans and to reduce their governance burden after a tumultuous 2022.”
Tim Giles, senior partner and EMEA managing director for Aon Investments, adds: “We have seen consistent growth in our fiduciary management business recently as more and more pension schemes see its ability to make better and more agile financial decisions as they navigate market volatility.
“Lewis brings impressive experience from across the investment sector, especially in the field of fiduciary management. I am sure that with our delegated team she will play a major role in continuing to bring the best of Aon to our current and future clients.”
