Natixis expands its institutional sales team
Natixis Investment Managers has appointed Chris Spinos as its new director of institutional sales to tap into the fast-growing Asia Pacific asset management market.
Spinos, who would be based in Sydney, would be responsible for marketing and selling Natixis’ strategies to current and potential institutional clients.
He joined from Wellington Management where he was based in Sydney office and a member of the Institutional Global Relationship Group.
Spinos also worked at Wellington Management’s London office, where he led projects aimed at bridging the gap between London and APAC investors, the company said.
Natixis Investment Managers’ head of Asia Pacific, Fabrice Chemouny commented on his appointment: “Chris’ depth of experience will help connect local Australian institutions to our global network of specialised investment managers.”
“The Asia Pacific is widely expected to be one of the fastest growing global markets for asset management over the coming years, and the already well-developed Australian market, built on the foundation of a highly sophisticated institutional landscape, is a cornerstone of our plans for strategic growth.”
Natixis opened its Sydney office in 2015, with a focus on institutional sales, and in October last year it acquired a majority stake in local manager, Investors Mutual limited (IML).
