Nedgroup Investments has appointed Rob Burdett to the role of head of international multi-manager business.
Burdett was most recently head of Columbia Threadneedle multi-manager solutions, a role he exited in April 2024 after 17 years.
He led the multi-manager team since 2007, including through the Columbia Threadneedle acquisition of F&C/BMO Global’s business, and prior to that he was at Thames River, where he was a founding partner.
Nedgroup Investments has over US$20 billion in assets under management and described Burdett as an “industry heavyweight” who is widely recognised as an industry luminary.
Tom Caddick, managing director of Nedgroup Investments International, said: “We are absolutely thrilled Rob Burdett is joining Nedgroup Investments. Rob’s client-centric approach has earned him a stellar reputation for prioritising client needs and fostering long-term relationships.
“Rob is no stranger to us at Nedgroup Investments, bringing extensive experience and a strong track-record in investment management and a keen eye for identifying exceptional managers. His expertise aligns seamlessly with our culture of hiring high-calibre investment-led professionals who embody the principles of value investing, founder’s mentality and long-term partnership.”
The firm said the appointment underlines Nedgroup Investments’ commitment to their ambitious growth trajectory in Europe, following a slew of high-profile hires over the past 24 months.
