Nuveen CIO takes on chief equities, FI platform role

Global investment manager, Nuveen, has announced its Chief Investment Officer (CIO), Saira Malik, will take on an additional role leading Nuveen’s equities and fixed income (FI) business.

Malik succeeds William Hoffman in the role, after it was announced he has been appointed Chief Executive Officer of Nuveen in June.

“As a proven leader who has dedicated two decades of her career to the evolution and growth of Nuveen’s platform, Saira is ideally suited to take on leadership of the Equities and Fixed Income business,” Huffman said, commenting on the appointment.

“In this expanded role, Saira will work closely with the talented leaders and teams who oversee more than $1T in AUM across equities, global fixed income, municipal bonds, private placements, multi-asset strategies and C-PACE lending.”

Malik has enjoyed several roles at Nuveen for over two decades, having commenced as an Equity Research Analyst in 2002 before entering several leadership roles across research, equities and portfolio management. Malik will continue in her current roles as CIO and Chair of Nuveen’s Global Investment Committee, where she will continue to present the latest market and investment insights to inform the firm’s asset allocation views.
