New York Life Investment Management (NYLIM) has announced that Lisa Hornby will be joining the firm and will assume the role of head of public fixed income at the end of the year.
As NYLIM continues to bring together the full strength of its asset management capabilities across public and private markets, Hornby will provide overall strategic leadership and management of NYLIM’s public fixed income teams across MacKay Shields and NYL Investors, overseeing approximately $270bn in assets under management (AUM) in support of New York Life’s general account and NYLIM’s third-party clients.
