Lampl appointed to senior Latin America banking job

Barings has appointed Roberto Lampl to one of its senior financial services jobs.

Mr Lampl will become head of Latin America equities as part of the bank's expanding emerging markets investment portfolio. He will be based in London.

Of its £11.6 billion invested in emerging markets Barings has more than a billion invested in Latin America.

Mr Lampl, who starts today (March 1st), has been involved with Latin American banking operations for more than 12 years, most recently with ING as senior investment manager.

Barings head of equities Tim Scholefield is delighted to have Mr Lampl as part of the team but also believes his expertise will be crucial to what he calls a "compelling long-term investment case" in an emerging market.

"He has an outstanding investment record in Latin America equity and we are excited that he will be using that experience to support Barings' growth in this region," he said.

Mr Lampl began his career working for ABN Amro in 1993 where he was also a Latin America analyst and portfolio manager for the company's asset management arm.
