In mid-2021, I accepted my biggest career challenge to date: Taking the helm at the newly created, independent asset management firm, Allspring Global Investments. Our relaunch gave us a new name and a fresh start—but with global scale and presence. Beyond the United States, we have a physical presence in London, Luxembourg, Paris, Frankfurt, Nassau, Milan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Melbourne. We believe that our “start-up at scale” mentality has been a tremendous advantage: it allows us to galvanize our now singular focus on asset management, with our clients at the core, and the innovative and agile mindset of a start-up. Where it makes sense, we can rethink everything including how we serve our clients, what should be our business model, our infrastructure, physical locations, and our offerings. Today, Allspring’s asset class lineup includes fundamental and systematic fixed income and equities investing across mutual funds, Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities (UCITS) vehicles, and separately managed accounts (SMAs). Our cross-segment capabilities include REMI (customized SMA platform), environmental, social, and governance (ESG) options, retirement investing, and multi-asset class investment solutions. It’s an exciting time and a huge opportunity, not to mention a tremendous honor, to lead Allspring.I am All-in with Allspring!Allspring Global Investments is a leading independent asset management firm, committed to thoughtful investing, purposeful planning and inspiring a new era of investing defined by both financial returns and positive outcomes.
