Sydney, 29 May 2025 – Russell Investments today announced the appointment of Andrew Pease as Head of Investments, Asia-Pacific (APAC), reinforcing the firm’s continued commitment to investment excellence and strong client outcomes across the region.
Pease, who most recently served as Global Chief Investment Strategist and has been a visible voice in global media for more than a decade, brings over 30 years of experience in asset allocation, portfolio strategy, and macroeconomic research. He will relocate from London to Sydney in July, following a multi-week transition and client engagement period in June.
“Andrew is a seasoned investor with a long history at Russell Investments and a deep understanding of global markets,” said Kate El-Hillow, President & Chief Investment Officer. “His appointment reflects our commitment to deepening regional expertise and better aligning our investment platform with client needs across the globe.”
“Our clients across Asia-Pacific increasingly expect access to globally integrated, locally relevant investment solutions,” said Jason Edgar, Head of Asia-Pacific (APAC). “Andrew’s global experience, longstanding client relationships, and deep connection to the region make him ideally positioned to help us deliver on that promise.”
“Andrew’s appointment meaningfully strengthens our investment leadership bench in APAC,” added Jon Eggins, Head of Portfolio Management. “His ability to connect macro insights to portfolio outcomes will directly benefit clients, especially as they navigate an increasingly complex investment landscape.”
In his new role, Pease will lead the investment division in APAC and report to Eggins. He will work closely with local and global teams to deliver innovative, outcome-oriented solutions to clients in the region. His focus will include enhancing the alignment between global research and local portfolio needs, strengthening multi-asset capabilities, and helping clients navigate evolving market challenges with greater precision and insight.
Pease joined Russell Investments in 2006. Prior to serving as Chief Investment Strategist, he held the same role for the Asia-Pacific region. He brings extensive experience as an economist, strategist, fund manager, and former central banker, with previous roles at Macquarie Bank, JPMorgan, Nomura Securities, and the Reserve Bank of Australia.
