Royal London Asset Management (RLAM) has announced the appointment of Will Nicoll as chief investment officer.
Since joining in 2023, Nicoll has been instrumental in building the foundations for the firm’s private assets capability. Additionally, since taking the helm of the fixed income division last year, he has restructured the team and created a platform for product and business growth.
He also brings insight on the broader issues shaping the industry such as climate change and emerging technologies.
Hans Georgeson, CEO, Royal London Asset Management, commented: “I am delighted to see Will step into the role as our CIO given his expertise and leadership. His appointment demonstrates the effectiveness of our succession planning, providing continuity for our clients and colleagues while reinforcing the depth and breadth of expertise within business.
“Piers Hillier recently informed me that he intends to step down and pursue the next stage of his career outside Royal London Asset Management. I would like to thank Piers for his enormous contribution to our business over the last 10 years and wish him every success for the future.”
