Allianz Global Investors is strengthening its Stewardship team with Marie Fromaget, who will join the firm next January as analyst. She will be based in Paris and report to Antje Stobbe, Head of Stewardship.
In a press release, the asset manager has announced that Fromaget will be responsible for engagements, especially on inclusive capitalism, and voting on its holdings in EMEA.
Prior to joining Allianz GI, she was ESG analyst at AXA IM since 2018. In this role, she was in charge of research and engagement on the theme of human capital and diversity. She was also involved in strengthening the firm’s voting policy on gender diversity, and contributed to the integration of social issues within different asset classes.
“We are delighted to strengthen our team with a proven investment professional like Marie Fromaget. She brings skills in the analysis of social issues, a wealth of ESG convictions, as well as the thematic background required to both feed growing client demand and serve our ambition in active stewardship”, commented Antje Stobbe, Head of Stewardship.
Mark Wade, Global Head of Research and Stewardship, added that inclusive capitalism is one of their “three targeted sustainability thematic pillars” with Climate Change and Planetary Boundaries, as they believe they are interlinked and co-dependent. “Marie’s knowledge and experience in social issues will be key to developing our thematic engagement and voting policy in this thematic”, he concluded.
