Natixis Investment Managers, the $1tn French-owned asset management conglomerate, has recruited a new global sales chief from Aberdeen Standard Investments, while RBC Capital Management has also filled a similar role.

Natixis said it is creating a new “dynamic solutions” division — a team of advisers and salespeople who can package up funds from each of the firm’s 26 affiliated boutiques, including names like Harris Associates, Loomis Sayles and AEW, and put them together in combined offerings to big investors.
