Client solutions leadership team expands in North America
CHICAGO, IL and TORONTO, ON, Jan. 31, 2017 /CNW/ - North America continues to emerge in 2017 as a key market for Aviva Investors, the global asset management business of Aviva plc ('Aviva'), with the firm expanding its client solutions team as it continues to focus on delivering specific investor outcomes.
Aviva Investors has grown its North American business by over 165% year-over-year to $14.24 billion USD ($18.72b CAD) in Q3 2016, up from $8.62 billion USD ($11.56b CAD) the prior year1. The growth has been largely attributed to sub-advisory relationships with Sun Life Global Investments in Canada and Virtus Investment Partners in the US, along with portfolio offerings and major accounts, including OPTrust in Canada.
The client solutions leadership team in North America has also expanded:
Louise Kay, Global Head of Distribution and Client Relations at Aviva Investors, commented, "As we build our distribution capabilities globally and grow our business, ensuring we have the right client and consultant propositions and the highest level of service is absolutely key."
"These appointments will play a key role as the business continues to focus on becoming the global leader in outcome oriented solutions," added Aviva Investors Americas Chief Operating Officer Sean Brumble.
