Matthew McLoughlin (see profile here), partner and head of trading at Liontrust Asset Management, has been promoted to chief commercial officer, in addition to his existing role. Martin Hendry has been promoted to deputy head of trading, from his role as multi-asset trader.
McLoughlin, a vocal champion of the buy-side trading community across industry events and committees, is being given responsibility for overseeing commercial strategies at the group in order to drive the future development of the business. He is expected to work with the executive team to ensure Liontrust are maximising revenue-generating opportunities while operating efficiently and cost effectively.
He said, “I am excited about this new role and am very much looking forward to helping us achieve our strategic objectives.” Having started his career at HM Treasury, McLoughlin subsequently worked as a junior portfolio manager and then trader, expanding to senior roles covering both equitieis and derivatives at firms including AIG, RAB Capital and Legal & General Investment Management (LGIM), eventually joining Liontrust in 2015.
Hendry is a highly experienced multi-asset trader, having worked with McLoughlin at LGIM and previously managed positions at Gruss Asset Management and JP Morgan Chase. McLoughlin said “Martin has proved himself to be a real asset to the group since joining and has taken on more than his previous title suggested over the years. He thoroughly deserves his promotion and I look forward to working with him in this new capacity.”
