PGIM Quantitative Solutions (PGIM Quant), the quantitative and multi-asset solutions specialist of PGIM, has bolstered its distribution team with the appointment of Cyrus Cottin as head of International Distribution, and the promotion of Pam Clancy to head of Global Consultant Relations, effective immediately.
PGIM is the $1.3 trillion global investment management business of Prudential Financial, Inc. (NYSE: PRU).
Based in London, Cottin reports to Brian Carroll, PGIM Quant’s head of Global Distribution. In his role, Cottin is responsible for developing and leading PGIM Quant’s distribution strategy across Europe and APAC, as well as driving the expansion across both existing and new relevant markets. Cottin will support distribution efforts across the firm’s three key investment platforms: Quantitative Equity, Multi Asset and PGIM Wadhwani.
Cottin joins from Eastspring Investments where he was director of distribution, Europe and Middle East. Prior to this, he was head of distribution, Switzerland, France and Germany, for BrightSphere Investment Group and held business development roles at Amundi ESG and Amundi Alternative Investments.
PGIM Wadhwani specialises in systematic macro investing and provides diversifying strategies that aim to perform well in a variety of environments including those in which equity markets do poorly or inflation is high and volatile. These strategies are either available on a stand-alone basis or can be used to create customised overlay solutions.
In addition to Cottin’s appointment, Pam Clancy has been promoted to head of Global Consultant Relations. Based in Newark, New Jersey, Clancy was previously head of US Consultant Relations.
Reporting to Carroll, Clancy oversees a team of five, based across San Francisco, the Midwest, Newark and London. She is responsible for coordinating all global consultant activities and deepening relationships in the consultant community.
PGIM Quant also recently appointed London-based Apostolos Katsaris as senior client portfolio manager for the PGIM Wadhwani liquid-alts platform.
