Monaghan brings significant experience in the asset management industry to the role, most recently with Nomura Asset Management and HSBC Global Asset Management.
 
Andrew Marks, managing director and head of EMEA distribution at Artisan, says: “We are delighted to welcome Pearse to the team. His hire reflects our firm’s continued commitment to the UK and Ireland, as well as the positive reaction to our business model and investment capabilities that we experience from investors across the EMEA region.”
