Aegon Asset Management (Aegon AM) has grown its global responsible investment team with two appointments.
Based in The Hague, Brunno Maradei (pictured) joins the asset manager in the newly-created role of global head of environmental, social and governance at a time when the asset class is steadily growing in interest amongst investors.
He joins from the European Investment Bank in Luxembourg where he specialised in climate-friendly impact investments in Africa.
Also new to the global responsible investment team is Julius Huttunen, appointed as responsible investment manager and based in Chicago.
Both newcomers will report to Roelie van Wijk-Russchen, global head of responsible business and public Affairs.
Their appointments come after several other hires to the global responsible and public affairs team.
Wijk-Russchen stated his belief that AAM “has the expertise to continue to lead the way on ESG issues, ensuring our clients’ responsible investing criteria are met and their sustainable goals can be supported.”
