The Berwyn, PA-based company has made a senior hire ahead of a string of new investment strategies.

Turner Investments, which recently merged with the investment advisory firm Veracen, has named Stefania Perrucci as global head of fixed income, as the firm anticipates the launch of a series of fixed income, credit and absolute return investment strategies. 

In this newly-created role, Perrucci serves on Turner’s investment committee and is a member of the firm’s fixed income/credit, yield/income, and absolute return investment sub-committees.

Before joining Turner, Perrucci was the founder of New Sky Capital, where she served as chief investment officer for a macro, fixed income, relative value fund. She was also a fixed income portfolio manager at Morgan Stanley and began her investment career as a senior risk specialist at International Finance Corporation, World Bank Group in 1997.
