Schroders Appoints Industry Veteran Alyse Kelly as Senior Portfolio Manager

​Asset manager Schroders has announced further growth in its Securitised Credit team, with the appointment of Alyse Kelly, who has more than two decades of investment experience, as a Senior Portfolio Manager in a newly created role. Based in New York, Alyse will report to Michelle Russell-Dowe, Head of Securitised Credit at Schroders. 

The primary motive of the move is to bolster the company's management of assets in the collateralised loan obligation market and underlying syndicated corporate loans.

Alyse brings vast experience in managing institutional capital across multiple cycles to Schroders' senior team. Before joining Schroders, she served as a Director at Pretium with a focus on leveraged loans in the media, telecom, lodging, gaming, leisure, and consumer products sectors. Alyse started her career as a Credit Analyst at Standard & Poor's. Previously, she held Director roles at Valcour Capital and Aladdin Capital.

Schroders' Securitised Credit team based in London and New York focuses on the full spectrum of global securitised assets across the US, Europe and APAC, including mortgage-backed securities (commercial and residential), collateralised loan obligations, asset-backed securities and asset-related private debt.

Michelle Russell-Dowe, Schroders' Head of Securitised Credit, commented: "We are excited to add Alyse's unique perspective to our investment committee. She is a great addition to our deep bench of credit experts and her expertise is perfectly suited to help serve our clients."
