Ixis Asset Management, the Paris-based funds house, is reported to be hiring Véronique Leroux, former director of equity investment at Scor, the French reinsurance group, as its new chief investment officer.

French daily L'Agefi reports that Leroux will join Ixis to head the investment team. The role was temporarily filled by Pascal Voisin, formerly of Crédit Agricole Asset Management, who was hired in March as president of Ixis Asset Management France.
