Nuveen has appointed Laura Cooper to spearhead the development of its fixed income strategy.
As a global investment strategist, she will give guidance on global market trends, macroeconomics and asset allocation strategies – especially in regard to G10 rates and currencies – to assist Nuveen’s growing fixed income offering.
Cooper joins from BlackRock, where she provided macroeconomic analysis for multi-asset investors as a senior macro investment strategist since 2021.
Prior to BlackRock, Cooper spent two years as a macro strategist for Bloomberg and almost eight years as an economist at RBC.
