Press ReleasesM&G announces changes to responsibilities within its public fixed income division

M&G today announces that fund manager Wolfgang Bauer will take on new responsibilities supporting European and multi-asset credit strategies and mandates for institutional investors. Within public debt, M&G manages €57 billion1 on behalf of institutional investors, including flagship strategies such as the M&G European Credit Investment Fund and the M&G Total Return Credit Investment Fund – an area where there has been a significant increase in client demand.

With immediate effect, Matthew Russell has been appointed as manager of the €82 million M&G (Lux) European Inflation Linked Corporate Bond Fund2. Gareth Jandrell, who joined the team in 2017 and has worked closely with Wolfgang, will become co-manager of the €463 million M&G (Lux) Euro Corporate Bond Fund, alongside Stefan Isaacs.

There will be no changes to either funds aims, objectives or policies.

Jim Leaviss, CIO Public Fixed Income, M&G, says: “The expansion of Matthew and Gareth’s responsibilities play to their strengths and are complementary to the strategies they are already involved with. We have seen significant interest from institutional investors for our European and Global credit capabilities and Wolfgang’s expertise and insights will enhance our offering to these clients.”
