PineBridge Investments appoints equities chief

PineBridge Investments, which manages $35bn of insurer assets, has appointed Anik Sen as global head of equities to take permanent charge of the firm's $21bn in equity assets under management. He was named interim global head of equities in June 2014.  

Sen joined PineBridge in the London office in 2008 and relocated to New York on his appointment as interim global head, reporting to PineBridge CEO David Jiang. He succeeded Robin Thorn who is now senior equity strategist at the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority.

Prior to PineBridge, Sen had held positions at Brevan Howard, Goldman Sachs, UBS Warburg and Fidelity Investments.

PineBridge's $35bn of insurance assets under management accounted for nearly half of its total AuM of $72.9bn at 31 December 2014.

PineBridge is majority-owned by a subsidiary of Pacific Century Group (PCG), an Asia-based private investment group whose chairman is Richard Li. Li is the younger son of Hong Kong magnate Li Ka-shing.
