Investment - Articles - LGIM appoint Paul Sweeting as new Head of Research


Legal & General Investment Management (LGIM) has appointed Professor Paul Sweeting to the new role of Head of Research within the LGIM Solutions Group.

 Professor Sweeting joins from J.P. Morgan Asset Management where he was European Head of the Strategy Group. Prior to this he was a Professor of Actuarial Science at the University of Kent. His research there covered areas including investment, risk management and longevity, with a particular focus on their relevance to pensions and insurance. Professor Sweeting continues to hold a chair at the University.
  
 Before moving to the University of Kent, Professor Sweeting occupied a range of senior roles in asset management, longevity reinsurance and investment consultancy.
  
 At LGIM, Professor Sweeting will be responsible for leading global research in investment strategy, outcome-oriented investing, risk management and asset-liability modeling. He will also work on longevity solutions across the Legal & General Group.
  
 He will report to Marcus Mollan, Head of Investment Strategy, who commented:
 “At LGIM, we are committed to delivering the best outcomes for our clients. We believe that this can best be achieved by marrying long-term strategic investment thinking with a dynamic approach to capturing investment opportunities. Most importantly, this must take place in the context of an in-depth understanding of our clients’ specific liabilities and objectives.
  
 “Paul brings terrific intellect and extensive academic and industry experience, across all these critical areas of focus for us, and I am thrilled that he has joined the team at LGIM”.
  
 Professor Sweeting added:
 “It is a privilege to be joining LGIM at such a critical time for retirement provision. Low interest rates and increasing longevity continue to present challenges for individuals and their employers, whilst the regulatory landscape continues to evolve. This is true not just in the UK, but around the world. LGIM, and the Legal & General Group as a whole, are uniquely well placed to help deliver the solutions that are needed, and I look forward to playing a part in their development.”
