NEW YORK, Jan. 31, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- ClearBridge Investments today announced that Charlotte Walsh, CFA, has joined the firm as Director, Institutional Sales. She will report to Lori McEvoy, Head of Institutional Sales, out of ClearBridge's New York headquarters effective immediately.  Ms. Walsh will be focused primarily on institutional consultant relations.

"Charlotte's deep-rooted institutional knowledge makes her the perfect hire to broaden ClearBridge's reach within the institutional consultant community.  As central bank accommodation subsides and interest rates rise, we believe there is significant opportunity for our active strategies to add value.  We are seeing greater institutional interest in ClearBridge," said Terrence Murphy, Chief Executive Officer of ClearBridge Investments. "As that interest grows, we have made a concerted effort to bolster the resources available to investment consultants and institutional clients. Charlotte's many years of industry experience make her a great fit for our firm."

Ms. Walsh started her career in the investment industry at Mercer Investments. Prior to joining ClearBridge, Ms. Walsh was a Consultant Relations Director at Putnam Investments in Boston, and has worked at a number of investment consulting and investment management firms in Chicago and New York, including Ranieri Partners, Allegiant Asset Management, Oppenheimer Capital and JPMorgan Asset Management.  She also co-founded her own direct marketing firm for asset managers, Glen Point Partners, in 2009.
