Harbour adds Multi-Asset specialist

Harbour Asset Management has appointed Chris Di Leva to a new role as Multi-Asset Specialist based in its Wellington office.

Di Leva joins Harbour from Mercer where he has worked since 2011. Most recently he was a Portfolio Manager in Mercer’s investment business where he developed multi-manager portfolios, formulated dynamic asset allocation tilts and advised clients.  He also led manager research in New Zealand for listed Australasian equity and property strategies.

Harbour’s vision is to be most trusted for investment research and portfolio management.  The creation of the Multi-Asset Specialist role reflects Harbour’s commitment to this growing aspect of our business, driven by client demand following a strong track record in managing equities and fixed interest over almost a decade. 

Di Leva will assume responsibility for multi asset portfolios and, over time, client relationships from Simon Pannett. Simon will transition his focus exclusively to credit research strengthening the research underpinning the Harbour Income Fund.
