Duval notes growing demand for multi-asset investing as investors continue to navigate risk and volatility

Russell Investments today announces the appointment of Pascal Duval as Chief Executive Officer of its Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA) businesses.

Duval reports directly to Len Brennan and maintains his role on Russell’s global executive committee, which he joined in September 2011.

These include Head of Institutional investor services (2005-2008) and Head of Partnerships and distributions alliances (2003-2005) with financial institutions. Throughout his time at Russell, Duval has overseen services to pension funds, insurance companies, government entities and other institutions within EMEA. He has had additional responsibility for the development of strategic relationships, such as Russell’s multi-manager fund programmes across a number of core European markets.
