Diane Miller has left her post on Morley Fund Management's UK equities desk to join William M Mercer as a senior investment consultant.

Miller had more than 20 years' investment experience and was an associate director at Morley. As well as UK equities, she specialised in asset allocation strategy. Mercer is increasing the level of its strategic investment advice and Miller's asset allocation experience should count highly. Her inside knowledge of fund management processes should also inform the actuarial and investment consultancy's fund manager research process.
