GAMCO Investors, Inc. (NYSE:GBL) announced today that Christina
L. Alfandary has re-joined the firm as Managing Director, ESG &
Sustainable Investments. Ms. Alfandary will contribute to the
firm’s nearly thirty year institutional SRI effort by further
expanding their ESG capabilities and leadership in sustainable
investing. The new role reflects the firm’s view that global
economic drivers continue to be affected by resource scarcity and
that client demand for ESG solutions will continue to grow.
GAMCO has a long history of working with Socially Responsive
institutions and understands the needs, objectives and social
mandates of these clients. Since focusing on SRI in 1987, the firm
is approaching $1 billion in institutional portfolios, as well as
an open-end mutual fund with that objective.
Commenting on Ms. Alfandary’s appointment, Christopher
Desmarais, Managing Director, said, “This is a natural and logical
extension of the work we have been doing in SRI for several
decades. Christina is uniquely qualified for this position, given
her prior experience in Environmental, Social and Governance
investing. Her past tenure at GAMCO is an additional plus. Her
wealth of knowledge and passion for ESG & Sustainable
Investments will be instrumental in matching the requirements of
all investors who are interested in people, the planet, and
profits.”
Ms. Alfandary has over twenty-five years of experience in the
investment business. Most recently, she was Co-Head of the Americas
and Senior Managing Director for Nikko Asset Management Americas,
Inc. While there she led initial asset raising efforts for ESG
products from US investors, working closely with investment
professionals, clients and their advisors. She joined Nikko AM from
GAMCO Investors, where she focused on Institutional and High Net
Worth marketing. Prior experience includes ten years at Morgan
Stanley in Institutional Fixed Income Sales and Trading.
A native of California, Ms. Alfandary received an M.B.A. in
Finance from Columbia Business School after earning her B.A. from
Lewis & Clark College.
GAMCO Investors, Inc., through its subsidiaries, manages private
advisory accounts (GAMCO Asset Management Inc.), mutual funds and
closed-end funds (Gabelli Funds, LLC). As of December 31, 2015,
GAMCO had $38.7 billion in assets under management.
