Rachel Shirley
Alexander Funds wishes to announce that Chief Executive Officer, Rachel Shirley has tendered her resignation. However, she will remain with the firm to facilitate an orderly transition.
As co-founder of the business and inaugural CEO, Ms Shirley has achieved the goals she set out to accomplish and believes the firm is well placed to continue its growth and success under new leadership.
“Upon establishment of the firm, my goal was to build a strong, respected, standalone organisation with the capability, culture and foundations to succeed well beyond its early years,” Ms Shirley said.
“Having delivered on the strategic priorities, I believe now is the right time to hand responsibility for the next phase to a new guardian of the business. This decision comes with deep gratitude to the team, both past and present, who have helped build this organisation. A special thank-you also to our investors and partners who have supported our vision.”
Trevor Chudleigh, Chair of the Board said, “Rachel has been fundamental to the growth and development of the business over the past 17 years, since its establishment in 2009 and we wish her well in her next chapter.”
The firm, its employees and clients will continue to benefit from her significant contribution, and we are grateful Rachel is remaining in her role to support the appointment of her successor and ensure a smooth transition.
Since its establishment in 2009, Alexander Funds has grown to approximately $1.6 billion in funds under management and continues to be a trusted, reliable and consistent performer in the fixed income credit markets.
