Anton Eser has been appointed as the chief investment officer (CIO) and executive committee member of Dutch asset manager Robeco.
Eser will take over as CIO on September 1st, replacing Mark van der Kroft, who has been with the company since 2000 and is scheduled to retire on October 1st.
The new CIO has worked in international financial markets for more than 25 years.
After 16 years with Legal & General Investment Management (LGIM), Eser was appointed CIO in 2016.
Eser was credited with having a “pivotal role in transforming” LGIM from a UK-focused organization to a worldwide asset manager with over $1.5 trillion in assets under management during his tenure there.
Eser oversaw 350 employees in the global equities, index, active fixed income, and multi-asset solutions areas of LGIM.
According to Robeco, he was instrumental in the development of the Future World fund series and oversaw LGIM’s initiatives to include ESG factors into different investing teams.
Eser has served as the CIO of 10X Investments, a fintech business that specializes in offering multi-asset solutions customized for the South African market, since 2021.
Eser concentrated on international fixed income markets early in his career, developing expertise as a team leader and investor.
After beginning his fixed income career at Aegon UK, he moved to LGIM in 2006 to create and oversee the company’s worldwide credit segment.
He was elevated to co-head of global fixed income in 2013, where he oversaw a wide range of teams and initiatives in the fixed income industry.
Robeco CEO Karin van Baardwijk said: “Anton brings a wealth of global experience and a proven track record in leading diverse investment strategies. His deep expertise aligns seamlessly with our strategic ambitions.
“We are excited about the fresh perspectives he will contribute to our investment platform and are confident he will play a key role in driving our continued growth. We warmly welcome Anton to Robeco and look forward to taking the company to the next level together.”
Founded in 1929, Robeco is a multinational asset management company with 15 locations throughout the world with its headquarters located in Rotterdam, Netherlands.
Robeco managed €214 billion in client assets as of December 31, 2024.
Baardwijk added: “We are grateful to Mark for his outstanding leadership and dedication in various roles over the past decades.
“He has played an essential role in shaping Robeco’s investment philosophy and culture, and has been instrumental in building the successful company we are today. We wish him all the best in his well-deserved retirement.”
