UK – Credit Suisse Asset Management has added to its headcount in its UK institutional marketing team, with the appointment of Edward Jones.

He will be reporting to Jane Collins, co-head of UK institutional marketing, and will be responsible for relationship management with clients and consultants, together with direct marketing initiatives with UK institutions.

Commenting on the addition to the team, Collins said: “We have established considerable inroads into the UK institutional market over the last 12 months, and we wish to further that progress, which the addition of Edward reflects.”

The addition of Jones takes the total headcount for the UK institutional marketing team to six.
