SEI has appointed Ian Love to head up its asset management business for the UK, EMEA, and Asian regions.
Love has been with SEI for 20 years. In this new role he will lead the companies asset management strategy and oversees the institutional and intermediary businesses outside of North America — with a focus on DB, DC, independent financial adviser, and wealth management segments.
SEI head of global asset management Wayne Withrow says: “We believe the UK, EMEA, and Asian regions are ripe with growth opportunities for SEI, and we are well-positioned to capitalise on these opportunities as the demand for outsourced solutions and services increases.”
As part of the company’s strategic approach to these market segments, Love’s leadership team will focus on three key channels.
- Steve Charlton will continue to lead the SEI Master Trust and propel the ongoing success of the company’s DC proposition by delivering a complete member journey and integrating its strategic acquisitions to drive scale.
- With extensive experience working with clients to provide investment and service excellence, Donald Baines has been promoted as head of the UK fiduciary management team to build upon SEI’s market-leading reputation of supporting defined benefit clients through all stages of their investment journeys.
- Arjan Looijestijn will continue to lead the distribution of SEI’s investment solutions to intermediaries and is recruiting a head of sales for UK wealth management and IFAs to develop new strategic partnerships.
