Peter Higgins has joined Shelton Capital Management, a multi-strategy asset manager, as head of fixed income and senior fixed income portfolio manager. Higgins will lead Shelton’s fixed income team, which now has more than 100 years of combined research and trading experience across various fixed income products, including corporate credit, government and municipal bonds, as well as green bond portfolios.
With Higgins’ appointment, Shelton aims to build on its already robust fixed income team.
“Shelton has a long and rich history of fixed income investing dating back to Richard Shelton, who founded the firm in 1985, originally focusing on municipal bond investing,” Derek Izuel, chief investment officer for Shelton Capital Management, said. “We’re pleased to welcome Peter to the team. His impressive background fits seamlessly into the Firm’s foundation of growing solutions in the fixed income space. That vision and commitment will continue to drive Shelton’s investment capabilities and expertise.”
Higgins has more than 25 years of experience in fixed income investing, most notably as partner and lead portfolio manager at both Ares Management and BlueBay Asset Management. Previously, Higgins specialized in global leveraged finance at investment banks such as Deutsche Bank AG, Goldman Sachs and Credit Suisse in both London and New York.
“I’m proud and excited to join the Shelton team, whose leadership has shown continued conviction with our fixed income products,” Higgins said. “As a rapidly growing boutique firm with a highly professional and experienced team, Shelton has the resources needed to continue offering our existing clients and new prospects creative and flexible solutions to meet their investment needs.”
