He will lead sales efforts in the institutional and insurance markets. Jay H. Strohmaier, CFA, has joined Advantus Capital Management as senior vice president of institutional account sales. He will lead the St. Paul-based asset manager’s sales effort in the institutional and insurance markets. “Jay comes to Advantus with 23 years of sales success in the institutional market,” said Mary Marston, vice president, Marketing and Investment Products. “He brings a strong work ethic, solid relationship skills and desire to make a difference that will be a good fit with our culture.” Strohmaier joins Advantus from Peregrine Capital Management, where he most recently was senior vice president and portfolio manager.

Strohmaier plans to expand the sales function at Advantus, which has seen a 15 percent compounded annual growth rate over the past two years.
