Following a global search, institutional investment manager QIC has further strengthened its global fixed interest (GFI) team with two new appointments.
Former Cheyne Capital Management partner Max Bulloch has joined as senior portfolio manager for investment grade credit.
Bulloch has extensive international experience and, according to QIC, had a proven track record of performance in long/short credit portfolios.
While based in London at Cheyne, he was directly responsible for the management of more than US$1 billion.
QIC has appointed Andrew Ticehurst as a new senior portfolio manager for GFI macro.
Ticehurst has 20 years' experience in financial markets and has previously held senior positions with National Australia Bank, Suncorp, AMP Hendersons, Macquarie Bank and Merrill Lynch.
He will undertake global macro research and analysis across G10 markets and provide strategic advice on the construction of macro strategies for client portfolios.
"Andrew and Max bring a strong track record in research and management of global fixed interest portfolios," QIC managing director of global fixed interest Susan Buckley said.
"They have a deep understanding of the drivers of global fixed interest markets and the link between fixed interest portfolio management and performance outcomes."
The GFI team recently launched the QIC GFI Alpha Fund to Asian and European clients.
