Aviva Investors has appointed Ravi Cheema as a multi-asset portfolio manager.
Cheema will report to Sotirios Nakos, head of multi-asset portfolio management. He will be involved across multiple funds within the firm’s multi-asset product suite, with an initial focus on MPS and MFV. His appointment marks the further strengthening of Aviva Investors’ existing 40-strong Aviva Investors multi-asset team.
Cheema joins from Schroders, where he spent 14 years as a senior member of the firm’s multi-asset Solutions team, acting as OCIO and lead portfolio manager.
Elsewhere, Multi-asset Portfolio Manager Sahil Shaikh, who joined last year, will become co-manager on the firm’s MAF Core and MAF Plus ranges.
Nakos says: “We’re thrilled to welcome Ravi to our team, and we’re excited to start working with him across our Multi-asset range. Ravi brings with him a vast knowledge of the industry, and I believe his skills will effectively complement the existing expertise within the Multi-asset portfolio management team.
“Multi-asset remains a core growth area for the business, and these changes further strengthen our team-based approach, resilience and the consistency of both potential investment outcomes and client engagement.”
