Schroders appoints Portfolio Manager for multi-asset team

Schroders has announced the appointment of Sebastian Mullins as one of two new appointees to the firm's Australian multi-asset team.

Mullins, who will commence in the role of portfolio manager, multi-asset in February 2019, will initially be based in Singapore, before moving permanently to Australia during the year.

Most recently, Mullins was a senior portfolio manager at Nikko Asset Management in Singapore, responsible for Nikko's Singapore-domiciled multi-asset funds.

He will be joined at Schroders by fellow new-appointee, Roland Winn, in the newly-created, part-time role of investment strategist, multi-asset. Both will report directly to head of fixed income and multi-asset, Simon Doyle.

Doyle said of their appointments: "Sebastian and Roland are highly capable investors with different experiences and investment expertise, which will help ensure we continue to challenge and develop our investment thinking. They're both enthusiastic about the opportunity to contribute to the ongoing success of our Multi-Asset capability, and I look forward to working with them."
