11/05/2012 — BOSTON & LONDON — (BUSINESS WIRE)

Effective immediately, Loomis Sayles Investments Limited has appointed
longtime consultant relations professional Chris Yiannakou to director
of consultant relations, based in its London office. Chris reports to
Jeff Seaver, managing director of European, Middle East & Africa (EMEA)
institutional services of Loomis Sayles Investments Ltd.

Chris, who has over 10 years of senior consultant relations experience
and was most recently the European head of consultant relations for UBS
Global Asset Management, will be responsible for the development and
implementation of all relationship management strategies for local and
global consultants located in the EMEA region. Chris will collaborate
closely with the US and Singapore offices to ensure the Loomis Sayles
message is communicated consistently worldwide.

“Upon opening our London office this past March, we identified the
consultant relations role as a critical part of our overarching strategy
to provide top service to our global clients. We conducted a
comprehensive search for a local, seasoned candidate who had significant
experience directly engaging EMEA-based global and local consultants,”
said Jeff Seaver. “We believe Chris’ strong ties to this community will
go a long way towards building mutually beneficial relationships across
the spectrum of global consultants and will help them gain an
understanding of our equity, fixed income and alternative investment
strategies.”

Prior to UBS, Chris worked as the consultant relations director for
Pioneer Investments in London, where he was responsible for building and
maintaining relationships across the spectrum of global and UK
consultants for long-only and hedge fund of fund strategies. Before
Pioneer, Chris was a consultant relations manager at Morley Fund
Management in London. Earlier in his career, Chris held positions at
Morgan Grenfell Asset Management and Gartmore Investment Management. He
received his BA from Bournemouth University in 1996.
