Pensions & Investments hires Marchant in London

Christopher Marchant has joined Pensions & Investments’ London office as a reporter.

Marchant will cover institutional investment across asset owners and money managers in Europe.

He was previously a writer for Net Zero Investor, where he focused on how pension funds allocate money when taking the impact of climate change into account. He also covered international events in France and Denmark. He’s also written for PAM Insight and Environmental Finance.

Marchant has an undergraduate degree from the University of Sussex in American Studies and a master’s in newspaper journalism.

“I’m delighted to welcome Chris to P&I and look forward to working with him,” said Sophie Baker, international news editor. “European asset owners have always been important to global money managers, while international events are becoming increasingly important to investors across the world. Chris will help to advance our European coverage and keep us at the forefront of reporting on what institutional investors and managers need to know in these challenging times.”

Marchant’s hire follows the appointment of Natalie Koh as senior reporter in Singapore last year, covering the Asia-Pacific region.
