Hall helps fill a void at Schroders following the departure of previous multi-manager head Andrew Yeadon earlier this year.

'In his role as head of manager selection, Rob has been researching and selecting managers while working closely with our asset allocation team. Therefore it was a natural progression that he continue this role but also be made head of multi-manager.'
