Invesco has appointed Hamid Asseffar as head of EMEA sustainable and impact investing – distribution.
Asseffar, who began in the role last month, will be responsible for leading climate finance initiatives at the firm.
He will work with colleagues across the EMEA region to coordinate sustainable and impact-focused fundraising campaigns and develop solutions in the climate adaptation and resilience debt space.
Before the promotion, Asseffar served as head of asset managers, exchange traded funds (ETF) and indexed strategies for the UK at Invesco, having worked at the firm since 2018. Prior to this, he held roles with Amundi and Credit Suisse.
Richard Glenn, head of EMEA private markets distribution at Invesco, said, “It is vital that we meet the growing client demand for ever more sophisticated and nuanced solutions.
Hamid did exactly this with the ETFs and indexed strategies team, and we trust that his expertise will bring similarly impressive results to our sustainability and impact offerings.”
