Baring Asset Management, the international investment management firm, has appointed Alison Huang as an investment manager in its multi-asset team. She reports to Percival Stanion, Barings' Head of Asset Allocation and is based in London.
Alison has eight years' asset management experience. She joins Barings from TT International Investment Management in London where she was an Equity Analyst, as part of a team which managed around $14 billion of assets investing predominantly in Pan-European equities. Prior to this, she was a Risk and Performance Analyst at the same firm. Her first role after graduating was with the Wellcome Trust where she gained experience of how charities work first-hand.
Percival Stanion said: "We are very pleased to welcome Alison to Barings. She brings strong investment experience and a good understanding of both multi-asset investing and the charities sector. As a sector generalist, her strong financial modelling skills and appreciation of asset allocation will prove highly valuable as we continue to capitalise on our strong charities proposition."
The Barings multi-asset team, formed in 2002, comprises nine portfolio managers and two analysts. It provides a segregated portfolio service for charities with over £5 million to invest, for a lower fee than many common investment funds and offers smaller charities a similar service through its Charity Commission-recognised Targeted Return Fund, which is invested using the same philosophy and techniques as Barings' segregated portfolios and targets a consistent return of CPI inflation +5%. The team manages over £1 billion* on behalf of charities that operate in a wide variety of sectors, ranging from education to the arts, from health care to religious communities.
