Craig Ansley back at Russell

Craig Ansley has decided to rejoin Russell on a permanent basis after being offered a new role on one of Russell's global research teams.

Ansley has been appointed Director, Capital Markets Research, starting mid-September.

Russell Investments New Zealand managing director Mark Blair says he is pleased Dr Ansley has agreed to return to Russell on a more permanent basis after working on a consulting basis for more than a year.

"This is a really good example of Russell identifying its most knowledgeable people and having them join our global efforts, regardless of geographic locations," Blair says.
