The £22bn Railways Pension Scheme has boosted its in-house investment team with three appointments.
Sweta Chattopadhyay has joined the private markets team as a senior investment manager, while Matthias Eifert and Tony Guida have joined the equity team as investment managers.
Chattopadhyay (pictured) joins from alternative investment firm Adveq. She has 10 years’ experience having previously worked at the Universities Superannuation Scheme and ABN AMRO.
Eifert has 15 years’ experience and joins from Macquarie Securities. He has also worked for Bluecrest and Mainfirst AG. He will focus on fundamental equity analysis and managing concentrated equity portfolios.
Guida meanwhile brings more than 12 years’ experience to RPMI Railpen’s alternative risk premia team. He joins from EDHEC Risk Institute and worked at Unigestion prior to that.
RPMI Railpen investment director Ciarán Barr said: “We are intent on delivering more value to our members by selectively increasing internal resources to manage and control more of the investment portfolios internally where it is efficient to do so.
“The recruitment of high quality, experienced individuals like Sweta, Matthias and Tony will strengthen our ability to deliver returns for our members.”
