Andreas Ernst Ferdinand Utermann (born January 1966)[1] is CEO and global chief investment officer (CIO) of Allianz Global Investors.

Career

Utermann joined Mercury Asset Management in 1989, becoming head of pan-European and subsequently global equities over the course of his 13 years there.[2] He left Merrill Lynch Investment Managers (as Mercury became known a couple of years after its 1997 acquisition by Merrill Lynch) in 2002.[3][4]


In 2002, Utermann joined Allianz to become its global CIO for equities.[5][6] When Allianz’s asset management division restructured in 2011, Utermann became Global CIO and co-head of Allianz Global Investors alongside Elizabeth Corley as CEO; in a 2012 media story headlined “Mercury keeps rising at AllianzGI”, the journalist noted that the co-head structure followed “the mixed gender trail blazed by Carol Galley and Stephen Zimmerman, former co-heads of Mercury Asset Management, where both Utermann and Corley honed their craft.”[7]


Utermann has been CEO as well as global CIO since 2016, when Corley moved into a non-executive role within the firm.[8] During his time in charge of Allianz Global Investors, Utermann has expanded its investment offering further into bonds (for instance with the acquisition of Rogge Global Partners in early 2016)[9] and creating a dedicated Alternative investments function.[10]
