Eaton Vance, a $319 billion US fund manager building its presence in Europe, has recruited a new London-based sales chief for its non-US business to replace an executive who left for Pictet in January.

Tjalling Halbertsma will join Eaton Vance as a managing director in September, the firm said in a July 11 statement. He replaces Niall Quinn, who joined Pictet Asset Management as global head of institutional business, excluding Japan.
