In his new role, Wu will be based in Sydney and will be responsible for overseeing investment product strategy and development in the fixed income and multi-asset teams.

He will report to to Schroders head of product, solutions and client delivery, Natalie Morcos.

“Pierre’s expertise will be instrumental in helping drive our investment strategies, evolve our product set, and in delivering exceptional outcomes for our clients.”
