Russell Investments, which has suffered a string of senior departures over the past 12 months, has installed its Middle East chief as head of its UK institutional business – a role the near-$250 billion asset manager created in late 2015.

The UK institutional role was created in the wake of the departure of Shamindra Perera, who had been Russell's managing director of institutional investment services in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, last September.
