The new hire is part of the firm's plan to expand its fixed income operation.

Mirabaud Asset Management has named Daniel Moreno senior portfolio manager in charge of emerging markets debt, in a bid to expand its fixed income operation.

Alongside the arrival of Moreno, Mirabaud Asset Management has launched its Emerging Market Debt fund in Luxembourg, which aims to capture investment opportunities across the world, as well as maintaining high risk-adjusted returns over the long run, the firm said in a statement.

Moreno, who has around twenty years' experience in emerging market debt, started his career at Dresdner Kleinwort Benson in Frankfurt as a fixed income and currency strategist, before moving to Deutsche Bank in 2000 as a portfolio manager.  More recently and prior to joining Mirabaud Asset Management, Moreno was head of emerging market debt at Rubrics Asset Management, a London based fixed income boutique.

“We are convinced that we have one of the best teams in this asset class," said Lionel Aeschlimann, chief executive. "With the arrival of Daniel Moreno, who shares our values and our active management approach based on strong convictions, we are more than ever in a position to provide our clients with high-quality, robust and sustainable solutions.”

Fund Launch
​The Emerging Debt Fund will take an unconstrained, global macro top-down approach, offering flexibility and diversification. The investment solution has been structured as an answer to its clients’ and prospects’ in terms of non-benchmarked actively managed fixed-income portfolios.

With offices in Paris, London, Montreal, Barcelona, Milan, Zurich and Geneva, the Mirabaud Group’s asset management division focuses on investment management and advisory services.

In October, this publication reported that Mirabaud AM had appointed Thomas Jägeras as senior portfolio manager of Swiss equities.
