We are taking the opportunity to increase our resources devoted to collaboration, implementation and reporting of our ESG activities across our client portfolios."

In his new role Anker will work closely with both RWC's investment and central teams, and lead on a range of ESG-related areas and projects.

Arthur Grigoryants, head of investment strategy and ESG, commented: "The regulatory and client environment in relation to ESG is rapidly evolving and presents one of the key opportunities for investment organisations and asset owners in coming years."

"RWC manages portfolios for some of the most advanced institutional ESG thinkers in the world. We are taking the opportunity to increase our resources devoted to collaboration, implementation and reporting of our ESG activities across our client portfolios."

Grigoryants added: "As a pure active manager, ESG considerations play a crucial part in every investment decision we make. Chris' recruitment is a reflection of the opportunities we see to leverage our scale, enhance the quality of our ESG activities and develop our approach to collaboration."
