Alex Bibani joins Allianz Global Investors’ (AllianzGI) Thematic Equity team from the end of August 2022. Based in London, he will focus on managing thematic equity strategies aligned with the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG-aligned strategies), as well as broader sustainability strategies.

With his expertise and passion for sustainable investing, he will be a strong contributor to the team-oriented approach across portfolios. In particular, Alex will become lead portfolio manager of Allianz Positive Change in due course, a fund which invests in companies covering all areas of the SDGs, and take a role in the management of Allianz Global Sustainability, AllianzGI’s flagship sustainable and responsible investment strategy with approx. 2.5 billion EUR in assets under management. Alex will work alongside co-lead portfolio managers Gunnar Miller and Robbie Miles. He will report to Andreas Fruschki, Head of Thematic Equity at AllianzGI.

Alex joins AllianzGI from Sarasin & Partners LLP, where he has managed a range of ESG & sustainably focused global equity funds for institutional clients since October 2015. Previous positions include IFM Investors, where he was a small-cap analyst and part of the portfolio management team, and Ratio Asset Management, where he started his professional career as a European small & mid-cap analyst in 2006.

Andreas Fruschki, Head of Thematic Equity at AllianzGI, comments: “We are very pleased that Alex is joining our team. His experience at the intersection of thematic and sustainable investing will serve us very well as we continue to expand our client offering. The UN’s Sustainable Development Goals offer not only the opportunity to create a better future for generations to come but, given the massive financing needs, they also represent thematic investment opportunities with great potential. And it is this potential that we, with Alex, intend to further leverage for our clients.
