Insight Investment, a leading global investment manager, has appointed Angus Woolhouse as Global Head of Distribution. Woolhouse has more than 20 years’ experience within the asset management industry and was most recently Global Head of Distribution at Barings Asset Management.
 
Abdallah Nauphal, Chief Executive of Insight Investment, said: “Angus joins Insight during a period of sustained growth and strong global ambition. Throughout his career Angus has built a wealth of experience within asset management in a variety of key industry roles. As we continue to expand our business globally, his expert and practical knowledge will be invaluable to our business, our clients and their advisers as we seek to continue to evolve and uphold the highest standards in all aspects of our distribution strategy.”
 
Angus Woolhouse said: “Insight has built an impressive reputation through its recognised leadership position and strong client advocacy. At a time when the needs of our clients and their advisers are becoming more specific and complex than ever, I look forward to evolving the business’s global distribution ambitions to deliver the highest standards of relationship management and engagement, together with best-in-class investment solutions for our clients.”
 
Insight has also recently made two senior appointments within UK distribution. Andrew Reid, an actuary with expertise in derivatives, asset management, solutions and consulting, joined in June as Head of Business Development for the UK and Ireland. Reid has more than 25 years’ experience in specialist roles across a broad client base, most recently in senior European coverage roles at Deutsche Bank and Deutsche Asset Management. Before that he held roles at Credit Suisse and Towers Watson.
