Aberdeen’s Lekander seeks an alternative

FINANCE: Aberdeen Asset Management has seen more senior departures in the wake of its £550m ?Scottish Widows takeover.


The restructure of its £11bn alternatives division has led to the exit of global head of indirect investment management, Jon Lekander.


The overhaul of the division has rolled the property multi-manager team in with hedge funds, private equity, and infrastructure, under new centralised management.


As a result, head of global markets, Karin Koks, head of investments, PMM, Antonio Alvarez and global head of investment analysis, PMM, Markus Steinby, will be leaving their current roles.


The departures follow a round of redundancies earlier this month which resulted in UK head of real estate investment Peter Lillington and Stewart Cowe, investment director – property research and strategy, leaving the £11.9bn firm.


At the time the takeover was first announced in November last year, group head of property Andrew Smith left the firm.
