We are delighted to confirm today that Carrick Lucas has been appointed to the role of Fixed Income Analyst, effective 15 January 2019.

Based in our Wellington office, Carrick will be supporting the Fixed Income team in the active management of cash and fixed income portfolios. This includes utilising tools to enhance portfolio construction and conducting analysis to help drive the team’s research capability and fixed income strategy, particularly across rates and higher grade credit to identify new investment opportunities.

Carrick joins from Kiwibank, where he was Portfolio & Liquidity Manager since 2014. Prior to that, he spent three years as an interest rate strategist with ANZ, as well as other roles in New Zealand and overseas including the OECD, Alliance Bernstein and the RBNZ. Carrick graduated from Auckland University with a Bachelor of Commerce and is a CFA Charterholder.

Since the role became vacant earlier this year, we broadened the responsibilities to provide an increased focus on the overall fixed income capability. The re-scoped position recognises our commitment to work with clients to deliver exceptional investment solutions for our clients, and complements the skills of AMP Capital’s well-recognised team of Vicky Hyde-Smith, Warren Potter and Tim Mowbray.
