Aviva Investors more than doubled assets under management in its flagship multi-strategy fund range – an early initiative of its chief executive Euan Munro after joining from Standard Life Investments – in the first six months of 2016.

While at Standard Life Investments, Munro established and led what became one of the biggest multi-asset funds worldwide, the Global Absolute Return Strategies, and the creation in July 2014 of the Aviva Investors Multi-Strategy funds flagship product was an early decision following his switch to the company that year.
