M&G Names New Asset Management CEO

As at 30 June 2022, M&G had £348.9 billion ($427.9 billion) of assets under management and administration.
M&G, the
investment house owned by UK-listed Prudential, has named Joseph
Pinto as its asset management chief executive. He is
taking over from Jonathan Daniels who said last July
that he intended to retire after 21 years at the firm.
Pinto will have accountability for all investment capabilities
including the equity, fixed income, multi asset, private and
alternative asset strategies alongside distribution, operations
and proposition management across the asset management business.
Pinto, who has 30 years of experience in asset management,
financial services, and consulting, is joining from
Natixis Investment Managers, where he served as head of
distribution and investment solutions for Europe, the Middle East
and Africa, Asia-Pacific and Latin America, and as global chief
operating officer.
Previously at AXA Investment Managers for 13 years, Pinto held
senior positions, including global chief operating officer,
global head of markets and investment strategy and head of
business development for South Europe and the Middle East.
Pinto will be taking up the new role – subject to regulatory approval – in March and will report to M&G’s chief executive, Andrea Rossi.
