Bingham gets global role
Craig Bingham
The chief executive of Melbourne-based fund manager Portfolio Partners, Craig Bingham, has been appointed as the chief executive Asia-Pacific of Aviva’s new multi-billion dollar global asset management business, Aviva Investors.
Aviva Investors represents part of the financial services house’s strategy to create what it describes as a “single, globally-integrated asset manager”.
Aviva Investors global chief executive Alain Dromer said the executives appointed to the new entity had been drawn from across the company’s businesses.
Aviva has flagged the creation of Aviva Investors as being a strategy to “unlock the group’s combined strengths in investment, manufacturing and distribution”.
It said the newly-formed Global Investment Solutions team would manage those investment capabilities that required scale and a global outlook.
