Phoenix Group, the UK’s largest long-term savings and retirement business, has hired Cecile Retaureau as its new Head of Private Markets to lead Phoenix’s growing private market team of 16 investment professionals across real estate, infrastructure, public finance, corporate credit and private equity.
Cecile will lead on Phoenix’s in-house origination capability and work with best in class asset management partners to deliver private market assets which provide a strong fit for its liabilities whilst also delivering optimal returns.
Cecile has nearly twenty years of experience and joins from UBS where she was Managing Director, Global Head of Cross-asset Financing and Fixed income Solutions Sales, managing over 30 investment banking professionals and 400 clients globally. She has previously held senior global markets roles at BNP Paribas and Credit Agricole.
Cecile will be joining Phoenix Group in August 2024, and will report into Nuwan Goonetilleke, Head of Shareholder Assets.
We are delighted to be welcoming Cecile as our new Head of Private Markets at a pivotal time for our asset management growth strategy, as we look to expand our direct origination capabilities whilst also working with our best in class asset management partners to deliver optimal returns for our customers. As our retirement solutions and pensions and savings businesses continue to thrive, Cecile will be integral to ensuring that we develop our sourcing, origination and execution of private market assets.
I am extremely excited to be joining Phoenix Group at such an important time for its asset management team. Phoenix’s brilliant in-house team alongside its unique origination model and ability to work with best in class partners will allow us to find the best possible opportunities in the market, and continue to deliver for our customers and shareholders, whilst also meeting Phoenix’s commitments to climate and achieving its net zero targets.
