Non-profit Anthropocene Fixed Income Institute (AFII) has added to its Asia-Pacific (APAC) team with David Lewis as Research Director and Hazel Ilango as Research Associate. Ilango’s new research role will be APAC energy transition-focused, drawing on prior experience at the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis, where her research focused on integrating climate risk within credit scoring models. Lewis has more than two decades of experience in financial markets, most recently in sustainable finance initiatives and governance in New Zealand. He was previously Deputy CIO and Portfolio Manager of Credit and Multi-asset Funds at Milford Asset Management, an asset manager in New Zealand and Australia. Prior to this, he spent nearly eight years at Merrill Lynch in a range of credit research roles across different regions. “Fixed income investors are becoming increasingly influential in determining the pace and scale of the climate transition in APAC,” said Justine Leigh-Bell, Executive Director of the AFII. “David and Hazel’s expertise in the financial markets along with their knowledge of sustainable finance developments in the region will help us expand our reach and deliver practical solutions for investors aiming to address climate and nature risk in their investment decisions.”
