“We are very pleased to welcome Pam and her wealth of consultant experience to QMA’s Global Distribution Team,” said Gee-Grant. “Her knowledge, passion and proven track record for cultivating relationships in the U.S. will immensely benefit our local and global efforts with investment consultants.”

Gee-Grant said Clancy’s hire is an important step in strengthening the firm’s growing presence across quantitative equity, multi-asset solutions and liquid alternative platforms, notably following PGIM’s acquisition of London-based Wadhwani Asset Management in January 2019. Clancy will play a critical role in continuing to ensure the firm’s U.S. clients and advisors have access to the full breadth of its global investment capabilities.

“Building comprehensive and complete solutions for our clients requires a strong distribution effort across all markets and Pam’s role is integral to our U.S. growth,” said QMA CEO Andrew Dyson. “Her strategic, seasoned leadership will bolster QMA’s abilities to coordinate with key stakeholders.”

Prior to joining QMA, Clancy served as a managing director, Consultant Relations for Man Investments.
