Benedikt, Nicolas and Amit are senior research analysts; each with more than 10 years of experience in asset management. They join Stéphane Jeannin and Brad Colton as Analysts on the team, significantly enhancing the depth and experience of Threadneedle’s US equities capability.

With the addition of the new Analysts the US Equities team now has full coverage across all sectors. Benedikt and Nicolas join from Columbia Management, which along with Threadneedle, comprise the global asset management business of Ameriprise Financial. Nicolas Janvier will maintain his analytical duties and responsibilities with Columbia Management’s New York-based value team. Amit Kumar joins from Artham Capital Partners.

In addition, Richard Adams, who was previously an analytics manager in the Reporting and Information Services team at Threadneedle, joins the US Equities team as Client Portfolio Manager. The appointments follow that of US Fund Manager Nadia Grant earlier this year, joining existing fund managers Neil Robson and Ashish Kochar, and bringing Threadneedle’s US Equities team to a total of ten.

Mark Burgess, Chief Investment Officer at Threadneedle said: “I am very pleased about the swift progress we have made in enhancing our London-based US Equities team, while at the same time increasing our collaboration with Columbia Management’s US Equities team. This brings our clients the benefit of a fully resourced team that leverages the significant capabilities, intellectual capital and strength of both organisations. I am confident that with their significant expertise in this asset class, our US Equities team will continue to deliver for our clients globally.”
