Candriam Emerging Market Equity Team Evolution

Candriam announces a strategic evolution of its Emerging Market Equity team, effective 1 February 2024. This realignment coincides with the launch of the Candriam Sustainable Equity Emerging Markets ex-China fund and aims to optimise fund management expertise. In addition, these changes strategically position the team to capitalise on emerging opportunities in the fast-growing Middle East region. 

Key changes in the fund management teams are as follows:

 

Candriam Equities Emerging Markets strategy

  • Lamine Saidi, a seasoned Senior Fund Manager with over 20 years industry experience, including 17 years focused on EME at Candriam, will become co-manager of the fund. His deep expertise will be key in capitalising on the new opportunities arising in the fast-growing Middle East region.
  • Philip Scrève, Deputy Head and Senior Fund Manager, remains the lead manager, working alongside co-manager, Paulo Salazar, Head of Emerging Market Equities.
  • Vivek Dhawan, Fund Manager, will transition out of this strategy in order to focus on his new role as a lead manager on the Candriam Sustainable Equity Emerging Markets ex-China strategy and co-manager of the Candriam Sustainable Equity Emerging Markets strategy.

 

Candriam Sustainable Equity Emerging Markets strategy
