Northern Trust Names New CIO

Former Fidelity exec and hedge fund founder Angelo Manioudakis begins the new gig on Sept. 27. He replaces Bob Browne.

Northern Trust Asset Management, with $1.2 trillion under management, announced Thursday that its new chief investment officer will be Angelo Manioudakis, formerly managing partner and co-founder of Lantern Harbor Investment Partners, an alternative investment firm. Manioudakis replaces Bob Browne who retired from the bank in June.

Prior to Lantern, where he was for almost two years, Manioudakis was chief investment officer of Fidelity’s Global Asset Allocation division, which had $500 billion in assets. Before that he was head of public fixed income and derivatives with Sun Life, chief investment officer for institutional fixed income for OppenheimerFunds and a portfolio manager for Morgan Stanley Investment Management.

Manioudakis, who starts the position on Sept. 27, will be responsible for investment performance, process and philosophy of NT products. Also, he will chair the firm’s investment policy committee, which sets policy for all Northern Trust groups in all asset classes.

He will report to NTAM President Shundrawn Thomas.

“Angelo has a proven track record of leadership in the investment management industry spanning three decades,” Thomas said in a statement. “His experience is ideally aligned with our investment philosophy centered on compensating investors for the risk they take in all market environments.”

Manioudakis has a bachelor’s degree in finance from Bentley College and an MBA from Harvard Business School.
