UBS Asset Management has named Suni Haford as head of investments, effective July 2017.

She will oversee around 500 investment employees and approximately $600 billion of assets. Based in New York, she will report to Ulrich Koerner, president.

Harford will join from Citigroup, where she has worked for 24 years. Most recently, she was regional head of markets for North America for nine years.

"Suni is a highly experienced and impactful senior leader, with a Wall Street career spanning nearly 30 years. She brings strong leadership capabilities combined with a broad knowledge of the investment markets across multiple asset classes and deep understanding of macro-economics,” Koerner. "Over the past two and a half years, we have transformed Investments from a multi-boutique structure into the integrated platform we have today. In her new role as head of investments for asset management, Suni will build on this by executing on our strategy to deliver sustainable performance for our clients."
