Russell Taps Insider for COO Post

News summary by MFWire's editors

Tom Hanly is stepping into the role of chief operating officer at Russell Investments. Hanly was formerly global chief investment officer and managing director of multi-manager investments at the Tacoma, Washington-headquartered firm. Succeeding Hanly in that position is Peter Gunning, previously in charge of oversight of investment research in the Asia-Pacific region at Russell. Hanly and Gunning both report to Russell chief executive Craig Ueland.

Company Press Release

Russell Investments has named Peter Gunning as its new global chief investment officer (CIO) and managing director of multi-manager investments, effective mid-February. Previously CIO for the Asia-Pacific region, Gunning will succeed Tom Hanly, who will move into the role of chief operating officer. Both positions report directly to Russell’s president and chief executive officer, Craig Ueland.

“Pete has developed a strong team, as well as achieved a superior long-term investment performance track record during his time in the Asia-Pacific region. He also has earned his reputation for investment innovation,” said Ueland. “This innovative mindset, as well as his focus on leveraging our strong global relationships with investment managers, makes him very well-suited to drive Russell’s investment process going forward.”

In his new role, based in Russell’s headquarters in Tacoma, Gunning will assume responsibility for directing Russell’s investment management and research activities. He also will join Russell’s Executive Committee and will remain a member of the firm’s Investment Committee.

Gunning, who joined Russell in its Sydney office in 1996, has served in a variety of roles within the investment management and research group in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. Most recently, he was responsible for the oversight of investment research in that region as well as the management of the Australian, New Zealand, Japanese and Australasian equity and fixed income portfolios.

“As we strive to improve the financial security of people globally, we are fortunate to have a broad group of leaders who are talented, empowered and engaged in demonstrable ways toward this end purpose,” said Ueland. “Pete will be instrumental in helping position Russell to take advantage of the many opportunities ahead of us as we continue on our growth trajectory.”
