In his role as the Head of Credit, James leads the credit team, with responsibility for investment across all areas of credit including Investment Grade, High Yield, Leveraged Loans, Direct Lending, Structured Credit, Emerging Markets Debt and Distressed Debt.
James reports to Alicia Gregory, Deputy CIO, Private Markets. He has acted in the position as the Head of Credit since June 2022. James has been with the Future Fund since 2009, having started at the organisation as an Analyst, Debt and Alternatives and progressed through various roles until his appointment as Director, Debt in 2019.
