IKS KB strengthens its top management
Prague, 30 April 2010 – IKS KB has strengthened its top management by
appointing Phillip Percheron as the Chief Investment Officer. He will be in charge of managing the
portfolio management team, and responsible for investment strategies of the unit trusts managed by
the company, and portfolios of individual and institutional clients.
Phillip Percheron holds a Master’s degree in Econometrics from the Parisian
university Paris II. He started his career in the banking industry in 1988 as the bond portfolio
manager at Ofivalmo, a French financial institution.
From 1992 he worked for the French bank Credit Agricole, where he successively
held positions as the fixed income portfolio manager for the private banking arm of Credit
Agricole, the head of the team for client servicing activity in Euro Fixed Income and, finally, for
four years as the Chief Investment Officer of the Credit Agricole Asset Management unit in Korea
(later the Amundi platform).
We believe that the appointment of Phillip Percheron will enhance the quality of
our portfolio management team and will bring a new perspective into the development of the company’s
mid-term strategy.
As at 31 December 2009, total assets under management at IKS KB amounted to CZK
91.5 billion. IKS KB is one of the three largest unit trust managers in the Czech Republic and has
long been among the market leaders in the Balanced Funds
