Global Leader for Investments Positions to Head Columbia Threadneedle's Online Platform.
Columbia Threadneedle Investments Appoints New Global Chief Investment Officer
In a significant move, Columbia Threadneedle Investments has announced the appointment of William Davies as its new Global Chief Investment Officer (CIO). Davies will be taking over from Colin Moore, who is retiring in January 2022, following 19 years of service as the Global CIO.
Davies, a respected leader in the investment industry, has a deep understanding of Columbia Threadneedle Investments, having joined the company in 1993 when it was known as Threadneedle Asset Management. He has since risen through the ranks to become the Investment Chief for the EMEA region and is currently the Global CIO.
While the exact timeline of Davies' career progression within the company is not clear from the available sources, his current role indicates extensive experience and leadership in asset management. As the Global CIO, Davies will be responsible for steering global fundamental research and investment strategy, with a focus on credit markets and navigating economic uncertainties.
Meanwhile, Moore, who joined Columbia Threadneedle Investments in September 2002 from Putnam Investments, has been praised for his service. CEO Ted Truscott thanked Moore for his contributions, expressing gratitude for his leadership and commitment to the company.
In another development, Ted Truscott has expressed excitement about working with Davies and William Davies' colleague, William Davies, as they prepare for a smooth transition.
