Based in Edinburgh and reporting into Jill Johnston, head of UK institutional business at Aegon AM, Irvine will be responsible for managing our existing third-party institutional relationships whilst also covering sales in the Local Government Pensions sector.

Irvine replaces Fiona Hope who will be retiring from Aegon AM as a client director at the end of June, Fiona has been in the company since 2014 and the industry since 1987.

 

Commenting on the appointment, Johnston says: “Jordan brings a wealth of pension and investment knowledge to his new role. This, coupled with the team’s existing expertise, will enable us to build our presence in the Local Government Pension sector, a key focus area for the business.

 

“I would also like to thank Fiona for all her hard work and commitment to our clients. The team and I will miss her and wish her a happy retirement.”
