Aon Hewitt has appointed William Parry as a senior consultant in its fiduciary management (FM) business.
At Aon, Parry (pictured) will focus on providing fiduciary management to pension schemes with more than £1bn assets under management and use his previous experience as a third-party mandate monitor to work closely with external FM evaluators such as Conduent and KPMG.
He joins from Xerox (now named Conduent) where he spent two years leading its third-party FM monitoring team and as an investment consultant for the wider investment business. Prior to that, he spent six years at LCP.
Aon Hewitt senior partner and head of European distribution for delegated investment, Sion Cole, said: “I am extremely pleased that William Parry has joined Aon’s delegated team. He joins us during an exciting time of growth and investment in our fiduciary business, and when there is increasing demand from trustees and sponsors to consider this approach.”
Parry added he was joining at an ideal time for trustees and scheme sponsors to review their pension scheme’s investment and governance approach.
“It’s a truly exciting time to be joining Aon’s delegated business and to be working with major pension schemes and further developing our relationship with fiduciary oversight firms across Europe,” he added.
Parry’s appointment follows that of Ed Tomlinson from SEI Investments, Tony Britton from Scottish Widows, and Will Hanglin from Allianz Global Investors, all of whom joined Aon’s delegated team during 2016.
