Mirabaud Asset Management has added to its growing London operation with the hiring of a new high yield manager, and expects its headcount to continue to grow if it can find the right staff.

Andrew Lake, formerly head of high yield portfolio management at Aviva Investors in London, will join the firm on January 3. Lake is a qualified lawyer with an MBA from Chicago Business School, and previously worked at F&C Asset Management for four years. He began his high yield career at Merrill Lynch Asset Management in 1998.
