Henckens will expand his role to lead teams that originate and manage private asset investments. MIM’s total private fixed income assets under management stood at $154.8 billion as of June 30, 2025.
“Geert brings deep global financial markets experience and having a London-based leader of private fixed income and a strong leadership team positions us well to seize additional opportunities as demand grows across this market,” Brian Funk, president of MIM, said.
Henckens, who has been at MIM for more than 11 years, has succeeded Funk, who became president of MIM in June. Henckens was appointed global head of investment grade private credit in 2023. Prior to MIM, he worked at KBC Bank for more than 19 years.
