Perpetual Ltd. has announced the appointment of Mickey Janvier to the key role of Head of Distribution, Americas. Janvier will lead a newly established team of distribution, sales, marketing, and product professionals, positioning the Americas business for further success and growth. With a career in distribution spanning more than 20 years, Janvier has spent the last 12 years at abrdn (previously known as Aberdeen) in various roles, most recently leading both institutional and intermediary sales channels.

Throughout his career, he has worked with a wide range of strategies across traditional equities, fixed income, multi-asset, liquid, and private alternatives, making him a seasoned distribution leader, well versed in the North American market. The announcement of Janvier as Head of Distribution, Americas is a key step in the further integration and development of the combined Perpetual and Pendal organization, following the acquisition of Pendal earlier this year. The combination of these two highly aligned businesses is creating a leading global asset manager with significant scale, a broad array of high-quality investment strategies, a global leader in ESG investing and a materially enlarged global distribution team, supported by Perpetual's high-quality wealth management and corporate trustee businesses.
