Lyxor Asset Management appoints new CIO

Lyxor Asset Management has appointed Florence Barjou as Chief Investment Officer (CIO). Based in Paris, she will report to Lionel Paquin, CEO of Lyxor.

Barjou will join Lyxor’s Executive Committee as of 5 October, when her appointment becomes effective. She is taking over from Guillaume Lasserre, who is leaving the company to pursue new opportunities.

Barjou has served as Deputy CIO since 2015. She has an extensive knowledge of Lyxor’s active management franchises, not only in her capacity as a Multi-Asset Portfolio Manager, but also given the fact that Florence has been instrumental in organising and developing Lyxor’s active management capabilities over the past 15 years.

Lionel Paquin, CEO of Lyxor Asset Management, says: “For the past 15 years, Florence has been one of the outstanding talents of Lyxor’s portfolio management teams. In her successive roles, she has contributed to the expansion of our active management and strategic allocation franchises. As CIO, Florence will show complete dedication to serving our clients at a time when experience, rigour and conviction are invaluable assets.”
