Candriam Investors Group, the pan-European multi-specialist asset manager, with EUR91bn of AUM and owned by New York Life Investment Management (NYLIM), announces the appointment of Keith Dixson as Head of International Development. In this new function, Mr. Dixson will report directly to Candriam CEO Naïm Abou-Jaoudé.

Based in the London office, Mr. Dixson will be responsible for the strategic implementation of Candriam’s international development objectives outside Europe, with a key focus on North America and Asia. Candriam now serves clients in over 20 countries through its established presence in Continental Europe, the UK and the Middle East.

Mr. Dixson brings significant experience in the asset management industry as a leading business developer. He joins from Cheyne Capital where he was a partner in the Business Development division focusing on North America from 2011. Previously he worked in Global Sales and Investor Relations at Matterhorn Investment Management LLP.

Naïm Abou-Jaoudé, CEO Candriam Investors Group, said: “Powerful long term trends such as pension saving needs and increasing private financial wealth are driving global demand for asset management. While further expanding Candriam’s footprint in Europe, we are increasingly looking further afield to leverage our proven expertise and take advantage of this international growth potential.”

Keith Dixson, the new Head of International Development, said: “Candriam is well poised to significantly increase its international footprint and I am pleased to be at the helm of this expansion. Candriam is a dynamic, conviction-driven asset manager and part of one of the largest asset management groups in the world. It has pioneering expertise across absolute return products, emerging markets, high yield bonds, high conviction equity and SRI (Sustainable and Responsible Investments) solutions. With this impressive suite of investment solutions Candriam is very much ready to meet the demands of a global investor audience.”

Naïm Abou-Jaoudé continued: “Candriam is already pursuing a number of international opportunities. Ahead of this distribution push, we already serve pension funds in Chile and also in Australia via our well established local contacts. Candriam’s expertise is being distributed in the US through NYLIM’s US retail distribution platform, and we are exploring ways to deepen relationships with institutional clients in North America, and more particularly in the US. Furthermore, we are investigating the best way to access other promising markets in Asia. Candriam Investors Group, renowned for its values and convictions for the past twenty years, will, with Keith Dixson’s contribution, continue in this direction to fully realize its international potential.”
