SEI is pleased to announce that Aruran Morgan has been appointed Head of Sustainable Research, effective November 1, 2021.

In this role, Aruran will assume leadership duties for identifying managers with competitive advantages for use across SEI’s full range of investment solutions, including mutual funds and separate accounts.

The role also carries a responsibility to actively help shape SEI’s deployment and development of its sustainable investment approach. Aruran will work closely with Jana Holt, Global Director of Sustainable Investing Solutions.


Background

In 2016, Aruran joined SEI as a Senior Analyst on the Manager Research team within the Investment Management Unit. In this role, he was lead analyst on several asset classes within fixed income, including emerging markets, global and international, U.K. and Europe for SEI’s fund management and separate-account businesses.

Aruran began his career at Buck Consultants in 2010, developing solutions for and advising pension-scheme trustees before transitioning to the firm’s fixed-income manager research team in 2012. He has a Master’s of Science in mathematics from Imperial College London. He is both a CFA and CAIA charterholder and is a member of the CFA Institute and the CFA Society of London. He also holds a Certificate in ESG Investing.

Stephen Beinhacker, Head of SEI’s Stewardship & Strategic Planning, said “Aruran is one of the IMU’s most insightful and skilled analysts, with a real passion for sustainable investing. He is a rising talent we expect will make a significant contribution to our sustainable investing business. We anticipate a seamless transition as he assumes many of the responsibilities previously handled by Sam Hillier.”

Aruran is based in SEI’s London office, where he will remain.
