Aviva Investors has hired Fabrice Pellous as the firm’s new co-head of global high yield to work alongside Sunita Kara, who has headed up the team since April 2021.
Pellous moves to the group from Invesco, where he spent over a decade as a high yield and emerging market fund manager. He previously held roles at Legal & General, AllianceBernstein and AXA Investment Management.

His appointment follows a series of new additions made to Aviva Investors’ fixed income team. It hired Gita Bal as head of fixed income research earlier this month, and poached Fraser Lundie as global head of fixed income in May last year.
Daniel McHugh, chief investment officer at the firm, said: “The appointment of Fabrice represents the latest step in our efforts to expand our fixed income investment team.
“Fixed Income is a central pillar of our public markets offering, and our ambition is to have a market leading offering across all major sectors of the asset class.”
