PGIM Fixed Income names Daleep Singh, former deputy national security advisor, as chief global economist
NEWARK, N.J., June 21, 2022 – PGIM Fixed Income has named Daleep Singh as chief global economist and head of global macroeconomic research, effective June 21, 2022. With $890 billion in assets under management, PGIM Fixed Income is among the largest global fixed income managers.
Singh joins PGIM Fixed Income from the White House where he was U.S. deputy national security advisor for international economics and deputy director of the National Economic Council. In this capacity, he served as President Biden’s top international economics advisor, driving policy formulation at the intersection of economics and national security. His work has included the development of fiscal and tax policy; shaping the U.S. economic strategy with China; leading efforts to promote supply chain resilience; promoting the development of a digital asset strategy; and building an economic governance toolkit that includes tariffs, sanctions, export controls, energy security, debt relief, bilateral assistance, and infrastructure finance.
Singh also served as the president’s representative at the G7, G20, and APEC. Prior to joining the Biden administration, Singh was executive vice president and head of the markets group at the New York Fed where he led a team of nearly 600 employees overseeing the group’s full portfolio during the most intense phase of the pandemic. From 2011 to 2017, he worked at the U.S. Department of the Treasury as acting assistant secretary for financial markets and deputy assistant secretary for Europe and Eurasia. Preceding his tenure at the Treasury Department, Singh worked for Goldman Sachs, with a focus on U.S. interest rates and currency markets.
Singh will report to Gregory Peters, co-chief investment officer for PGIM Fixed Income, and will be responsible for oversight of PGIM Fixed Income’s Global Macroeconomic Research team, which includes senior economists with extensive experience in the public and private sectors.
“As one of the world’s leading experts on economic policy matters, Daleep has provided extensive experience and insight at the highest levels of government. Adding an expert of this caliber to our investment team is fundamental to helping our portfolio managers navigate the increasingly complex macroeconomic and geopolitical forces driving global financial markets,” Peters said. “His expertise will be instrumental in continuing to provide leading economic and sovereign research, as well as thought leadership. We look forward to the impact he’ll have on our organization and the investment outcomes for our clients.”
In his new role, Singh will lead the formulation of PGIM Fixed Income’s global macroeconomic outlook, integral to PGIM Fixed Income’s global investment strategy. He and his team will also support PGIM Fixed Income’s fundamental views on developed and emerging countries, supporting alpha generation in global interest rate, currency, sovereign and credit markets. In addition, he will be a member of the senior investment team and will provide thought leadership on global monetary and fiscal policy and macroeconomic trends.
