Aviva Investors, the global asset management business of Aviva plc, has announced the appointment of Ravi Cheema as a Multi-asset Portfolio Manager. Based in London, he will report into Sotirios Nakos, Head of Multi-asset Portfolio Management.
Cheema will be involved across multiple funds within the firm’s multi-asset product suite, with an initial focus on MPS and MFV. His appointment marks the further strengthening of Aviva Investors’ existing 40-strong Aviva Investors Multi-asset team.
He joins from Schroders where he spent 14 years as a senior member of the firm’s Multi-asset Solutions team, acting as OCIO and lead Portfolio Manager for some of the UK’s largest DB schemes.
Meanwhile, Sahil Shaikh, who joined the firm as a Multi-asset Portfolio Manager in 2025, will be taking on additional responsibility across the firm’s Multi-asset fund suite. He will be named as a co-manager on the firm’s MAF Core and MAF Plus ranges, in a move that aims to ensure that key strategies remain well-resourced and achieving the best outcomes possible for clients.
Sotirios Nakos said: “We’re thrilled to welcome Ravi to our team, and we’re excited to start working with him across our Multi-asset range. Ravi brings with him a vast knowledge of the industry, and I believe his skills will effectively complement the existing expertise within the Multi-asset portfolio management team.
“Multi-asset remains a core growth area for the business, and these changes further strengthen our team-based approach, resilience and the consistency of both potential investment outcomes and client engagement.”
