Payden & Rygel appoints Niall Clifford as Senior Vice President
4 JUN, 2024
Payden & Rygel has announced the appointment of Niall Clifford as Senior Vice President to strengthen its Insurance team. This move represents a further step forward in the growth of Payden's division dealing with insurance entities and which, at the moment, in Continental Europe and the UK already manages over 24 billion euros through specialized mandates.
With interest rates at levels not seen for years, this is a particularly interesting time for a market leader in bond mandate management like Payden. I am excited to put my experience at the service of the Insurance division and I hope to contribute to the consolidation of its presence in Europe and the United Kingdom.

Niall Clifford's Career
With more than twenty years of experience behind him, gained first in KPMG and then in Mercer, Niall Clifford boasts a deep knowledge of the insurance industry.
At Payden, Clifford will work alongside institutional investors to create tailor-made investment solutions and maximize their return. In particular, Clifford will be responsible for analyzing the asset position, risk propensity and the balance sheets of individual companies, to improve the risk/return profile of their portfolios.
Payden renews its focus on Insurance at the European level and welcomes Niall Clifford, whose skills and familiarity with the insurance sector I am sure will represent a fundamental asset for the entire team. Clifford's entry will allow Payden to capitalize on the wealth of relationships established over the years with the main insurance companies, which has recently led us to be chosen for example by Lloyd's as responsible for the first fixed income strategy for managing liquidity available on their proprietary platform.
