L&G has appointed Emiel van den Heiligenberg as CIO of its £1.2 trillion asset management business.
Van Heiligenberg will lead L&G’s global investment platform, supported by over 400 investment professionals across the business. He will have responsibility for driving the firm’s investment strategy across public markets and fixed income asset classes, research, engagement and its wider responsible investment approach.
He has over 30 years of investment experience delivering for clients across changing market cycles. This includes 12 years leading L&G’s multi-asset business, where he grew its asset allocation team to over 65 investment professionals, including strategists, economists, and fund managers, with over £100bn in Assets under Management, covering a range of investment strategies.
As CIO, Emiel will focus on strengthening L&G’s investment processes, driving long‑term client outcomes, and enhancing collaboration across asset classes from multi-asset and index solutions to fixed income.
The appointment follows the recent announcement that Tim Morris and Philipp Westermann have joined L&G as Global Co-Heads of Real Assets.
Eric Adler, asset management CEO at L&G said: “As an investment leader with an exemplary track-record, his appointment is a reflection of the depth of experience, tenure and talent L&G is able to leverage to deliver long-term value for our clients globally.”
