Three seasoned investment professionals are taking on expanded roles in Nikko Asset Management's investment team with Roger Bridges, based in Sydney, named global rates and currencies strategist; Andre Severino, based in London, as head of fixed income for the US and Europe, and John Vail, currently chief global strategist, will be leading the company's global investment committee process and thought leadership effort after relocating to New York from Tokyo in November.

 

Bridges joined the firm in 1998 and has most recently been responsible for providing macroeconomic research and strategic direction to the Nikko Asset Management Australia fixed income team. In his new role, he will be the chief global strategist for interest rates and currencies, working closely with the global investment committee on macro and market target views. He will be the main spokesperson for rates and currencies at the company.

 

Severino joined Nikko Asset Management in New York in 2007, and most recently has been serving as acting CIO for Europe. In addition, he is senior portfolio manager of the firm's multi-billion-dollar sovereign fixed income series. His position has been expanded to include heading the firm's fixed income teams in Europe and the US, and he will also join the team managing global macro strategies.

 

Vail has been with Nikko Asset Management since 2006, and serves as chief global strategist, in addition to leading the global investment committee and several investment forums within the company. He will relocate to New York from Tokyo in November.
