Meantime, Simon Clements, who was previously head of global equities at Aviva Investors, has been promoted for the management of Alliance Trust’s equity portfolio.

Michaelis and Clements joined Alliance Trust in 2012.

Katherine Garrett-Cox said: "These changes will enable us to capitalize on the long track record and experience of the whole team. They will also allow us to promote an integrated and responsible investment strategy which we believe is a necessity, and no longer a choice, in today’s world.

"Our thematic investment approach remains unchanged and we are committed to delivering capital growth and a consistently rising dividend from our diversified portfolio of global equities and fixed income investments," he added.
