JBWere appoints JP Morgan MD as chief investment officer

JBWere has appointed Sally Auld, managing director at J.P. Morgan and head of AUS/NZ fixed income, as its new chief investment officer.

Auld has been with J.P. Morgan for nearly twelve years, joining in late 2008. Before joining the organisation she was the co-head of economics and interest rate strategy at ANZ and spent time as the VP of interest rate and economic research at Credit Suisse. She also holds a PhD in economics from Oxford.

Announcing the appointment on LinkedIn, the company wrote, "Sally is a widely respected economic and financial market professional who brings a wealth of experience that will clearly complement the substantial expertise that we have built in the JBWere investment team. Sally is consistently ranked by clients as leading one of the top economics and market insight teams in the country."

CEO Justin Grenier said, "Attracting a professional of Sally's calibre is a coup for JBWere and more importantly our clients - it reinforces our focus on delivering market-leading insights and broadening our proprietary investment capability."

Auld replaces James Wright, who left the organisation earlier this year.
