BlackRock fixed interest portfolio manager Mark Nordio will leave the global investment management firm after 14 years' service.
Nordio will leave the firm around 15 November.
Investor Weekly understands he will join National Australia Bank (NAB)-owned boutique firm Antares Capital.
Nordio originally joined Barclay Global Investors (BGI) in 1997 and came across to BlackRock after the company merged with BGI in 2009.
He managed the BlackRock Indexed Australian Bond Fund, together with his colleague Craig Vardy, since its inception in 1998.
Antares Capital was originally established as the fixed income division of Lend Lease/MLC, and was previously known as National Specialist Investment Management.
After the acquisition of MLC by NAB, Antares moved across to the NAB wealth management business.
It now sits under the nabInvest banner as a boutique fixed income manager.
