Schroders appoints Simon Doyle CEO

Schroders Australia has appointed Simon Doyle as chief executive officer. He will retain his current role of chief investment officer, a position he has held since February 2022.

Doyle succeeds Sam Hallinan who had been in that position since April 2021 and led the organisation through a period of significant industry change and societal disruption.

"Simon's new dual CEO and CIO role reflects our ongoing commitment to helping solve for our clients by being an investment-first and insight-led business in Australia, and allows for further direct engagement on investment solutions with our clients, the needs of whom are becoming increasingly complex. Simon is highly regarded internally both locally and globally across the Schroders business and is well-known within the market and amongst our clients," head of Schroders Asia Pacific, Chris Durack, said.

Doyle joined Schroders 20 year ago and during his time at the firm has developed and managed its fixed income, multi-asset, and private debt teams.

Sebastian Mullins has also been promoted to the role of head of multi-asset. He has 12 years experience of multi-asset investing and will lead a team of experienced investment professionals.

"These leadership changes signify our unwavering commitment to providing exceptional investment solutions tailored to our clients' specific needs. Under Simon's leadership, and with an investment-led approach supported by our locally-based investment teams, we are confident in our ability to continue delivering outstanding results for our clients," global chief executive officer for Schroders, Peter Harrison, said.
