Aviva Investors has grown its UK equity team with its second hire this year.
Mathew Parker has joined the team from Columbia Threadneedle where he led the UK All Cap and UK Mid Cap equity strategies.
He will be co-portfolio manager alongside Charlotte Meyrick on both the Aviva Investors UK Equity Unconstrained Strategy, and the Aviva Investors UK Small and Mid-Cap Strategy.
Parker will also provide analyst coverage responsibilities within the Energy, Materials and Utilities sector hub.
Trevor Green, head of UK equities at Aviva, said: "He brings with him a strong track record and a wealth of industry knowledge that will only add to the existing expertise within the team."
Parker has 20 years of experience and before Columbia Threadneedle spent more than six years at BMO Global Asset Management as an analyst and portfolio manager.
It is the second boost to the team this year after the hire of Kunal Kothari as a portfolio manager in February.
