Lifestyle Article - PPF appoint Ian Scott as Head of Investment Strategy


The appointment marks the continued evolution of one of Europe’s largest and most important institutional investors. Protecting millions of pension scheme members, the PPF has grown to over £23 billion in invested assets, with a diversified portfolio including involvement in the Thames Tideway Tunnel and London Gateway port. As the PPF brings more of its Liability Driven and wider investment activity in-house, Ian will be responsible for advising on tactical trade ideas and medium term shifts away from the strategic asset allocation.

 Ian is a highly experienced investment strategist with a strong track record in the City. His previous roles have included extensive leadership responsibilities, latterly as head of the global equity strategy team at Barclays.

 PPF Chief Investment Officer, Barry Kenneth commented: “I am pleased to welcome Ian in this new role at the PPF as we evolve our investment team. He brings with him a wealth of expertise, and will help build our capabilities in strategic and tactical asset allocation. Attracting professionals of Ian’s calibre to join our award-winning team is an endorsement of where we are going.”

 Ian Scott said: “In its relatively short history the PPF has established a well-deserved reputation for innovative fund management. I am looking forward to building upon and enhancing that, especially in the areas of strategic and tactical asset allocation. Having spent over 25 years working as a strategist on both the ‘sell-side’ and ‘buy-side’ of the investment industry I am excited about bringing that experience to such a prestigious and important organisation.”
