Northern Trust Global Investments (“NTGI”) in London has appointed Elinor Winkle to its product management team to oversee NTGI’s existing quantitative management product as well as direct and regulate future product development in this area.
Winkle, who joins a team of six, will report to Richard Bartholomew, NTGI’s European head of product management. Her appointment will enable NTGI to continue to expand and strengthen its European quantitative management solutions range – a core strategy for the firm in 2004.
Prior to joining NTGI, Winkle spent four years at Threadneedle Investments, latterly as Investment Communications Manager for European Markets covering Threadneedle’s range of global and regional equity and bond fund products. Before that that she worked with the Delegation of the European Commission with responsibility for implementation of investment policy.
“Elinor is a highly skilled and experienced professional who will bring unique knowledge and product management expertise to our specialist product management team in London,” says Richard Bartholomew. “Expanding our quantitative management solutions range in the UK and Europe and growing our Continental European client base is a key focus for NTGI in the coming year and, as with NTGI’s recently launched range of new pooled passive funds, Elinor’s appointment is an indication of our ongoing commitment to developing effective solutions for clients and winning new mandates in this area of the European market place.”
