French asset manager BNP Paribas Asset Management has promoted Alaa Bushehri to head of emerging-market debt.
Based in London, she reports to Olivier de Larouzière, chief investment officer for fixed income, the company says in a statement on April 10.
Bushehri, who has been with the BNP Paribas Group for two decades, was head of emerging-markets corporates, part of the emerging-market debt team, for the past 11 years.
According to Larouzière, her extensive knowledge and long tenure on the team make her “perfectly placed” to further grow the company’s emerging-markets debt platform.
“I am confident that Alaa will further embed the sharing of local and global expertise through our single platform, and further strengthen our investment philosophy and processes,” he says.
Paris-based BNP Paribas Asset Management had US$586 billion of assets under management as of end-2023.
