Capital Group has reinforced its commitment to the exchange-traded fund business with the appointment of Jamie Sinclair as new head of ETFs for Europe and Asia-Pacific. The manager, one of the largest active investment firms in the world, with 3.4 trillion dollars in assets under management, will place the executive in London to lead the development of its active ETF platform in both regions.
Sinclair joins Capital Group from BlackRock, a firm where he worked for over a decade holding various high-level positions. His most recent role was as head of iShares Product Distribution for EMEA, a position from which he participated in the commercial drive of one of the largest ETF platforms on the market.
With this appointment, Capital Group seeks to leverage Sinclair's experience to build and lead its active ETF business in Europe and Asia-Pacific, two strategic markets in the international expansion of this range of products.
International expansion of the active ETF business
The firm already has a significant presence in the US market, where it offers a range of 25 active ETFs and 8 model ETF portfolios. According to data provided by the entity, Capital Group is currently the third largest issuer of active ETFs in the United States, with a 7.4% share of the industry.
In addition to its development in the United States, the manager also has four active ETFs in Canada. Sinclair's signing is thus part of Capital Group's strategy to expand the reach of its active management offering in a listed format and strengthen its positioning in Europe and Asia-Pacific.
We are pleased to welcome Jamie Sinclair to Capital Group. Jamie brings extensive experience in ETF distribution and a deep understanding of client needs in Europe and Asia-Pacific. With over fifteen years in the sector, his leadership will be crucial as we continue to expand our presence in the region.
Scott Davis, head of ETFs at Capital Group
I am delighted to join Capital Group at such an exciting time for the firm. The company stands out for its long-term investment approach, its strong culture of analysis, and its commitment to customer service, and I look forward to collaborating with my colleagues to support their growth in Europe and Asia-Pacific.
