F&C Investments has appointed two directors to its global rates and money markets team, enhancing its integrated range of client-orientated investment solutions in global rates and money market strategies.

Sujay Shah will focus on global and UK bond portfolios and Paul Robinson will focus on short duration interest rate strategies and money markets.

We welcome Shah and Robinson, whose expertise will strengthen our ability to take diversified positions and add value in our strategies,” said Michiel de Bruin, head of global rates, F&C Investments. “We have built a global rates and money markets team with extensive and complementary experience.”

Shah was previously at Goldman Sachs, where he developed relative value strategies within G10 interest rate markets and undertook macro strategies across liquid asset classes.

Before this, Shah worked for seven years at the Bank of England in a number of roles in the Markets division.

Robinson joined F&C from ICAP after a career at JPMorgan and other houses, where he was responsible for the analysis and trading of a broad range of money market and short duration instruments and actively developed fixed income relative value and macro strategies.

F&C’s Global Rates & Money Markets team manages €21.4bn and €3.7bn in global rates and money markets products, respectively. Working closely with F&C’s LDI, multi-asset and credit teams, they combine trade ideas from across the maturity spectrum and a variety of global rates and money markets instruments to enhance returns and diversify risk.
