The signing of Gerrit Bahlo and Maria Stäheli as seasoned portfolio managers for convertible and corporate bonds, respectively, represents a major step forward in our plans to expand capabilities and competencies. Additionally, the appointment of Daniela Savoia as a credit analyst for emerging market bonds will increase our coverage in this high-growth segment.”
Another two appointments in core areas will be made in the coming months. Fisch will then have a total of over 30 experts, including one of the largest convertible bond teams globally.
