Kames Capital has appointed Peter Ball to lead its institutional business on an interim basis.
Ball (pictured) has been working with Kames as a consultant since March advising the business on strategic opportunities in the institutional market. He will now lead Kames institutional team until a permanent replacement is appointed.
Ball has 26 years’ experience in the institutional market having previously been on the board of JLT Employee Benefits, where he was responsible for the investment management and investment consulting businesses. Before that he led the UK institutional business at JP Morgan Asset Management for 10 years.
Kames chief executive Martin Davis said: “We were impressed with the advice Peter provided to us as a consultant and I am delighted that he has agreed to lead the team. We will benefit from his considerable knowledge and experience as we seek to maintain the strong momentum we have established in the institutional market.”
The past 12 months has seen Kames pick up a number of UK pension fund clients, including West Midlands Pension Fund, Kent County Council, Kensington & Chelsea Borough Council, Molins UK Pension Fund and the Kelda Group Pension Plan.
