Gallagher appoints Michael Robinson as head of DC investment

Gallagher has appointed Michael Robinson as head of defined contribution (DC) investment for its benefit and HR consulting division in the UK. 

Robinson will lead the DC investment proposition, reporting to Nick Lewis, co-head of investment, UK. 

He joins from Aegon UK, where he led investment solution design and delivery, and brings eight years of experience advising pension schemes and insurers on investment strategy and portfolio construction.

In his new role, Robinson will support Gallagher’s clients as the DC market responds to regulatory changes, value for money assessments, and new opportunities in private markets. 

He will also oversee the expansion of Gallagher’s DC investment capability.

Robinson said: “I’m delighted to be joining Gallagher at such an exciting and pivotal time for the DC market. 

“Private markets, changing member expectations and a greater focus on retirement outcomes are creating significant opportunities for innovation. 

“Gallagher’s strong culture, fantastic platform and clear ambition for growth stood out to me and I’m excited to work with colleagues and clients to shape the next stage of our DC proposition and help people face their future with confidence.”
