Ed Gaunt will become CIO in American Express Asset Management International’s Tokyo office in September. He will take over responsibilities previously handled by Mark Fawcett, CIO, and Fiona Stewart, head of Japanese equities, who will enter master’s degree programs at the London Business School and Johns Hopkins University, respectively. Mr. Gaunt was head of Japanese institutional portfolio management at Scottish Widows Investment Partnership; the company is close to hiring his replacement.
