Aviva Investors appoints Head of Institutional Sales

5 June 2023

(London) – Aviva Investors, the global asset management business of Aviva plc, announces it has appointed Monica Fan-Bradley as Head of Institutional Sales (ex. Asia Pacific) within its Global Client Solutions function.

Monica will be responsible for expanding Aviva Investors’ sales activities with global institutional investors across its pensions, official institutions, liquidity and consultant teams, as well as strategic relationships, across the UK, Europe, North America and Middle East. She will report directly to Louise Kay, Global Head of Client Solutions.

Monica joins Aviva Investors from UBS Asset Management where she spent almost seven years, most recently as Managing Director and Head of Global Consultant Relations. She has over 25 years’ experience working in a variety of senior roles on both the buy- and sell-side of the investment industry, whilst also being a member of eVestment's Asset Manager Board and the Advisory Council of The Diversity Project UK. In 2021, Monica was recognised as ‘Distribution Woman of the Year’ by Investment Week.

The appointment is the latest hire to Aviva Investors’ Global Client Solutions capabilities, following the addition of Richard Surrency as ‘Head of Asia Pacific, Global Client Solutions’ and Shiqi Wang as ‘Client Solutions Director, Global Client Solutions’ in November 2022 and April 2023 respectively. In December 2022, Aviva Investors also announced the expansion of its UK retail distribution team, with four new hires.

Louise Kay, Global Head of Client Solutions at Aviva Investors, said:

“As we continue to expand our distribution capabilities the leadership skills Monica brings to our business, along with her proven track record in raising client capital, will be critical in achieving the ambitious targets we are setting ourselves for driving growth and assets under management. The increased headcount of our Global Client Solutions function reflects the level of demand we are seeing across all client channels for active, competitive products that can deliver the right investment outcomes and, where relevant, reflect wider corporate values. We believe Monica’s calibre and talent will be incredibly valuable and we welcome her warmly to Aviva Investors.”
