Carly Segal started her career at JP Morgan Asset Management in 2017 as a junior portfolio manager on the Global Aggregate fixed income desk and from there went on a meteoric rise, becoming vice-president, fixed Income portfolio manager, in January 2023.

As a junior PM, she helped manage active, benchmark aware multi-sector fixed income strategies on behalf of institutional clients seeking exposure to the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate fixed income universe. From 2019, she started to also support the London-based Customized Bond Portfolios desk, which manages bottom-up, buy-and-maintain style credit portfolios on behalf of high-net-worth individuals, and invests across developed and emerging markets.

Since 2020, Segal has served as a portfolio manager on the EMEA Insurance and Pensions team, which invests in publicly traded fixed income on behalf of institutional clients with a wide array of objectives, including buy-and-maintain and total return investments, asset-liability matching, book yield/investment income targeting, and capital optimisation.

Besides her portfolio management responsibility, Segal is passionate about the future of ESG investing, and has spearheaded the EMEA Insurance and Pensions team's low-carbon transition investment capabilities.

In June of 2022, she co-authored the latest version of a white paper on net zero aligned investing titled Building better carbon transition fixed income portfolios, which judges noted as "particularly impressive".

Judges were also full of praise for her strong delivery around sustainable investing on top of portfolio management responsibility, and were impressed with her broader involvement across the firm contributing to stewardship, ESG initiatives and mentoring.
