Ixis Asset Management has hired former BT Financial Group head of investments Deborah Alliston to be its investment director.
BT has lost a glut of senior staff recently.
In February, head of alternative investments Richard Keary resigned from the firm, as well as Australian shares portfolio manager Troy Angus.
Angus signed up with small caps specialist Paradice Investment Management last month, but it is not yet known where Keary will re-emerge.
