BNP Paribas Investment Partners announces the appointment of Matt Joyce as a Portfolio Manager within its Multi Asset Solutions group, headed by Charles Janssen. Based in London, Matt will join the Active Asset Allocation team led by CIO Colin Graham.
The Active Asset Allocation team consists of more than 20 dedicated professionals responsible for establishing active asset allocation strategies for a broad range of multi asset mutual funds and investment solutions offered to retail and institutional clients.
Matt has over 12 years’ investment experience, covering long-only and long/short strategies. Prior to joining BNP Paribas Investment Partners, Matt worked at Schroders Investment Management as a multi asset analyst and fund manager, focusing on equity and cross asset volatility research, and managing balanced products and volatility strategies.
His previous experience includes roles at Occam Asset Management, where he was an analyst and fund manager covering European equities, and at Polar Capital, where he was an analyst on UK and global equity long/short strategies. Matt has a BSc in Financial Economics from Birkbeck College, University of London, and an MSc in Applicable Mathematics from the London School of Economics & Political Science. He is a CFA Charterholder.
Charles Janssen, Head of Multi Asset Solutions at BNP Paribas Investment Partners, comments: “The addition of Matt Joyce to the Multi Asset Solutions group further demonstrates our commitment to expanding our multi asset offering as part of the strategic development of our business. Demand for multi asset products continues to grow in line with the increasing need for retirement solutions among retail and institutional investors and this is a key part of BNP Paribas Investment Partners’ investment offering. Given the ongoing environment of market uncertainty and low yields, we expect continued growing demand as investors look to outsource their asset allocation to meet their growth or income requirements.”
