Allianz Global Investors has appointed Matt Christensen as global head of sustainable and impact investing.
In this role, he will accelerate the growth of impact investing as part of the company’s growing private markets platform; lead the continued integration of ESG factors across AllianzGI’s existing range of public markets products, including stewardship activities; and support the development of new SRI products.
As well as succeeding Beatrix Anton-Groenemeyer, who is retiring as chief sustainability officer, Christensen will have investment oversight for the firm’s impact investments, an increasingly important part of AllianzGI’s sustainable investing proposition.
Christensen will join AllianzGI in December from AXA Investment Managers, where he has been global head of responsible investment and impact strategy since 2011. Before this, he was the founding executive director of the think-tank Eurosif (European Sustainable Investment Forum) from 2002
