Katharine Dryer has been appointed at Capital Group in a new London-based role as equity lead, Europe and Asia client group.
San Francisco-headquartered Capital Group, with assets under management of approximately 2.2 trillion dollars, said Dryer will focus on expanding the firm’s equity distribution strategy and product development roadmap to better serve institutional and intermediary clients across Europe and Asia.
Dryer joins Capital Group with more than 25 years of industry experience. She was most recently deputy CIO at Jupiter Asset Management where she held a number of key roles over a near decade tenure. She will report to Alexandra Haggard, head of asset class services, Europe and Asia client group.
Her appointment follows the recent appointment of Scott Steele as fixed income lead, Europe and Asia client group. These newly created roles are part of the firm’s strategic drive to increase its footprint in Europe and Asia by further enhancing its distribution capabilities for equities and fixed income products in both regions, the firm said.
