NEW YORK, Dec. 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --  Chris Moran, a veteran sales management executive and relationship manager, has been appointed the new Head of Sub-Advisory for Schroders. He will focus on helping to manage and expand the existing sub-advisory client relationships (over $11.8 billion in AUM as of September 30, 2013) and also work to generate new mandates by offering Schroders expansive product set to the U.S. Market.

Mr. Moran, who previously served as National Sales Manager and Client Advisor for J.P. Morgan Asset Management, will report to Carter Sims, Head of U.S. Intermediary Distribution. Prior to serving at J.P. Morgan Asset Management, he served as the Regional Vice President of ING Group.
