Aviva Investors has bolstered its responsible investment team with three new hires.
Phillipa Grant has joined the firm as director of sustainable investments from AESG, Elizabeth Ortiz has been appointed as an associate from KPMG and Jeremy Ho – a graduate of Durham University and Imperial College Business School – has joined Aviva Investors as an analyst.
All three will report into Edward Dixon, head of responsible investment, real assets, at Aviva Investors.
Dixon said: “We are really pleased to extend the responsible investment capabilities of our real assets function through the appointment of Phillipa, Elizabeth and Jeremy. Our recent real assets study showed that 57% of institutional investors have a commitment to reaching net zero, so it is vitally important we have the resource and expertise to guide our clients and show how real assets allocations can align portfolios with those objectives.
“All three hires bring an enviable level of expertise from across a range of geographies and sectors to address this need and we believe they will materially advance the breadth and depth of our sustainability offering to clients.”
