Henriques will be responsible for the firm’s UK intermediary and institutional channels, as well as will head the firm’s Latin America operations in Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Mexico.
Schroders global head of distribution John Troiano said: “The changing dynamics of the UK market place and continued convergence of both the intermediary and institutional channels, specifically in the defined contribution and insurance areas, has meant that now is the right time for our business to appoint a Country Head for the UK that will lead and grow both channels.”
Meanwhile, Robin Stoakley, the managing director of UK intermediary at Schroders, has decided to step down from his role.
Stoakley’s role will be jointly taken over by head of UK financial institutions and strategic accounts James Rainbow, and head of UK intermediary business development Phil Middleton.
