    A round of layoffs and departures has followed Marsh & McLennan’s Aug. 3 sale of Putnam Investments to Power Financial Corp.’s Great-West Lifeco unit. Putnam spokeswoman Laura McNamara confirmed a total of 75 positions in “distribution and support” areas were eliminated as part of an effort to control costs and improve margins; none of the reductions involved Putnam’s investment division. She declined to provide the names of employees affected.

    Market watchers said a number of executives are moving on, either on their own or the company’s initiatives. They include Jeffrey F. Peters, senior managing director, head of international business; David Puddle, a London-based international account manager; William Sullivan, director of institutional product management; Kevin Orr, director of business development for Putnam’s PanAgora Asset Management quant subsidiary; and Michael Arends, investment product manager at Putnam.

    Ex-Putnam veterans, who declined to be identified, said Managing Director and Director of Defined Contribution Business Chris Thompson will assume Mr. Sullivan’s duties in the new position of head of investment product management. Mr. Peters’ duties will be split between Gordon Forrester, as head of Asia Pacific, who had been serving as a managing director and head of marketing, and Joseph Phoenix, as head of European distribution.

    Mr. Peters confirmed his imminent departure. Reached by telephone, he said while Putnam has been “great for me,” he wants to spend some time with his family while planning the next phase of his career. Putnam’s London office said Mr. Puddle is on vacation. Messrs. Sullivan, Orr and Arends couldn’t immediately be reached.

    Scott Schoelzel, executive vice president and portfolio manager at Janus Capital Group, will step down at the end of the year, said Shelley Peterson, spokeswoman. Mr. Schoelzel was responsible for $17.8 billion in assets as of June 30, including the $10.4 billion Janus Twenty Fund, the $3.6 billion Janus Advisor Forty Fund and the $1 billion Janus Aspen Forty Fund, as well as various other institutional and separate account strategies, said Ms. Peterson. Ron Sachs, executive vice president and portfolio manager, will replace Mr. Schoelzel. Mr. Sachs currently manages the $4 billion Janus Orion Fund and other strategies; he will be replaced by John Eisinger, currently equity research analyst.

    Mr. Schoelzel has been with Janus for 14 years and thought it was “time to consider new and different challenges,” said Ms. Peterson; he will take some time off before making plans.

    Robert Aguallo Jr. will retire as general manager of the $11.2 billion Los Angeles City Employees’ Retirement System on Dec. 31 “to explore other career opportunities,” Mr. Aguallo said. He is considering working for a money management firm or a company in another area of the investment business. The system’s investment board has not decided any details on a search for his replacement.

    Siobhan Boylan was named CFO of Morley Fund Management, said a spokeswoman. Ms. Boylan replaces David Watson, now CFO of Aviva Europe, a unit of Morley’s parent company, Aviva. Ms. Boylan was Aviva’s director of group financial reporting.

    Jon Lekander was named CIO of Aberdeen Property Investors, confirmed a spokesman. The position is new. Mr. Lekander was head of investment strategy for Aberdeen Property, which has about e12 billion ($16.34 billion) in assets under management. Alessandro Brondo, head of European research, will replace Mr. Lekander in addition to retaining his current responsibilities.

    Mark Marwede joined Principal Funds as managing director of investment-only solutions, said Terri Hale. It is a new position. Mr. Marwede was a senior vice president at Fidelity Investments, where he managed institutional clients, choosing subadvised, retail and adviser funds for pension and annuity programs. Calls to Fidelity for information on a replacement were not returned by press time.

    Mark Sodergren joined Northern Trust Global Investments as a senior portfolio manager with the firm’s global quantitative management team, said spokeswoman Alexis Geocaris. It’s a new position. Mr. Sodergren was a portfolio manager with BGI; it could not be learned by presstime if he would be replaced.

    Separately, Jacob Weaver, a vice president and portfolio manager with NTGI’s quantitative active management team in Chicago, moved to London as head of the firm’s London and Tokyo-based global index team. He replaces Rodney Fernandes, who left the company, said Ms. Geocaris.

    Alec Robert Harrell joined Northern Trust as vice president and portfolio manager for Northern Trust Value Investors, an NTGI division serving high-net-worth and institutional investors, said spokeswoman Cathryn Raia. It’s a new position. Mr. Harrell was principal and portfolio manager at Convergent Fund Management, a quant equity firm he helped found in 2005. He was replaced by Mark D. Mandell, said co-founder Christopher D. Powell.

    Maarten Nederlof and Sean Capstick were promoted to co-heads of the hedge fund capital group at Deutsche Bank, replacing John Dyment. Messrs. Nederlof and Capstick are both managing directors at the bank. Mr. Nederlof worked in the New York office of Deutsche Bank’s hedge fund capital group. Mr. Capstick will retain his current roles as co-head of global prime brokerage sales-Europe and head of Deutsche’s hedge fund capital group-Europe, said spokeswoman Renee Calabro. Mr. Dyment reportedly joined hedge fund manager Shumway Capital Partners. Kenneth F. Palumbo, Shumway’s CFO, did not return a call seeking confirmation.

    Timothy F. Munoz will join Legg Mason as senior vice president, head of corporate marketing and communications, starting Sept. 17, said spokeswoman Mary Athridge.

    Jeb Bush, former governor of Florida, was appointed to the private equity advisory board of Lehman Brothers, confirmed Brian Finnegan, spokesman.

    Wade Slome, one of two portfolio managers of the $10.6 billion large-cap growth equity American Century Ultra fund, is leaving, said spokeswoman Laura Kouri. Stephen J. Lurito, who joined the firm in June as CIO of growth equities, will replace Mr. Slome temporarily, teaming up with co-portfolio manager Tom Telford while American Century seeks a replacement. Ms. Corey said Mr. Slome plans to return to his native California to start an investment firm. Mr. Slome couldn’t immediately be reached for further details.

    Audrey Kaplan joined Federated Investors as senior vice president, and Geoffrey Pazzanese as assistant vice president, confirmed spokeswoman Meghan McAndrew.
