Asset manager Legal & General Investment Management (LGIM) has hired Sam Kulahan as a senior member of its 13-person Manager Research Group.
This group is responsible for managing research covering liquid and illiquid assets. Kulahan will sit within LGIM’s asset allocation team, as well as with LGIM’s Solutions Group.
Kulahan will be integral to helping LGIM choose best-in-class external managers to include in bespoke client portfolios. His research will support LGIM’s core model portfolios and tailored solutions for its Retail Model Portfolio Service (MPS) partners as well as institutional clients holding external managers in portfolios managed by LGIM.
Before joining LGIM, Kulahan worked for over four years at Morningstar as a senior manager research analyst, focusing on fixed income strategies.
The firm’s MPS proposition offers a selection of model portfolios, designed using both LGIM and external manager funds.
James Crossley, head of UK wholesale at LGIM added: “Although in relatively early stages of growth, we have seen the real potential of our MPS proposition through new mandates and partnerships, with more to come in 2024. Kulahan will help us ensure diversification across our MPS portfolios, aiming to meet evolving client demands and the desired asset class mix of our tailored solutions.”
