Jupiter Asset Management announces that Reza Karim has been promoted to Head of Emerging Market Debt (EMD), replacing Alejandro Arevalo, who will be leaving the firm.

Reza joined Jupiter in May 2017 and has been co-manager of the firm’s EMD strategies since 2021. He has 14 years’ experience in the asset class. Reza will be supported by Alejandro di Bernardo, CFA and Xuchen Zhang, CFA, who have been members of the EMD team since August 2018 and March 2020, respectively, as well as Jupiter’s wider fixed income team.

Matthew Morgan, Head of Fixed Income at Jupiter, said:

“As all of Jupiter’s EMD funds are managed on a team basis, there will be an orderly handover of responsibilities to the leadership of existing co-manager Reza Karim. We are entirely confident that the transition for clients will be seamless.»

“EMD is an important asset class for Jupiter. We believe we have a strong team in place, with the potential to materially increase our scale in this area, particularly in the institutional channel, as our clients’ needs continue to evolve. To this end, we will be looking to supplement the team with additional investment talent in due course.”
