Isabelle Bourcier on the outs at Lyxor
p { margin-bottom: 0.08in; } According to her email autoreply, Isabelle Bourcier is absent until 29 November; she is now reportedly leaving Lyxor Asset management and the Société Générale group at the end of the year, according to internal information cited by portfolio international. The departure of the global head of ETFs is reportedly the result of a disagreement about the future orientation of the activity, with Thierry Aulagnon, head of the investment banking unit at the French bank. It has recently been reported that Thomas Meyed zu Drewer (formerly of Indexchange) will be leaving his position as head of Lyxor Germany at the end of the year to join the Commerzbank group, as head of the European activities of ComStage. He may be replaced by Simon Klein, director of ETF distribution at Deutsche Bank until the end of September, who is also reported to have been appointed head of European ETF distribution at Lyxor.
