CI Global Asset Management hires first head of investment management
Marc-Andre Lewis
Marc-Andre Lewis was named executive vice-president and head of investment management at CI Global Asset Management, effective Sept. 1.
The position is new, and Mr. Lewis will be based in the firm s head office in Toronto, a spokesman said.
He will lead a group of more than 100 investment staff overseeing the continued development of the firm s global investment platform. The company said in November it would combine its in-house investment boutiques to operate as one team under one brand. The multiboutique structure meant several investment management teams were previously operating independently, each with their own chief investment officer. Overall governance was provided by an investment management committee made up of those CIOs and certain senior executives, the spokesman said.
