Hymans Robertson has appointed Anthony Ellis as Head of DC Investment Strategy. The appointment of Anthony will further strengthen the DC investment team led by Alison Leslie.
Anthony is an equity member and joined the firm in 2009, having previously worked at Phoenix Group, Lloyds Banking Group and PWC. He has a long history of advising DC clients on investment and retirement benefit strategy and was instrumental in developing the firm’s DC investment proposition before moving on to be Head of Investment Consultancy for Hymans Robertson.
His new role marks a return to focusing explicitly on the DC market, where he will dedicate the majority of his time to supporting investment clients. He will use his leadership experience, gained from heading the investment business, to strengthen the DC investment team.
Commenting on his new role, Anthony Ellis, Head of DC Investment Strategy, Hymans Robertson, says:
“The DC market is going through a period of enormous transformation and there is an expanding investment universe available for DC schemes, trustees and members to navigate. I am thrilled to be returning to fully focusing on our DC clients and to support and strengthen what we offer to the market. With the Government seeking the views of the DC market to help make real change in the pensions industry, the next few months look set to be an incredibly busy time. I look forward to working with Alison Leslie and Mark Jaffray, amongst others, to use our combined decades of experience to help our clients deliver better outcomes for their members.”
Commenting on Anthony’s appointment, Alison Leslie, Head of DC Investment Services, Hymans Robertson, says:
“Anthony’s experience and understanding of the investment market will be invaluable for his new role, and I’m really pleased he’s returning to our DC investment team. Anthony will play a central role to the growth of the DC business. His skills will enable us to support our clients with the key strategic issues they face whether that is investment, governance or scheme strategy. He also brings experience in asset allocation for large clients – in both DB and DC – which will be invaluable to the team and enables us to continue to grow and expand.”
