Nuveen Asset Management has appointed Bob Doll as its chief equity strategist and senior portfolio manager, raising Nuveen’s visibility in the equity space.
Until this summer, Doll had served BlackRock’s chief equity strategist for fundamental equities and as head of its US Large Cap Series equity team. Prior to that, Doll had been president and chief investment officer of Merrill Lynch Investment Managers.
"I knew I needed a break," Doll said. "But pretty quickly I began missing managing money and started listening when the phone calls came in."
In his new position, Doll will report to Nuveen’s head of equities, David Chalupunik. “Our team is excited to add Bob’s voice and expertise to the crafting and execution of our equity offerings,” Chalupnik said. “For years, advisors have followed Bob’s views on the market with great interest as they seek to construct quality, long-term portfolios for their clients.”
Nuveen managed $117 billion in assets as of September 30.
