MissionSquare announced today that Yulia Alekseeva has joined the firm as head of Fixed Income.
In this role, Alekseeva will lead MissionSquare’s Fixed Income division, overseeing the firm’s proprietary funds and strategies, including its stable value portfolios.

With two decades of experience in investment management across public and private markets, including stable value and alternative investments, Alekseeva joins MissionSquare from Barings. During her tenure at Barings, she held multiple leadership roles, having served as head of Consumer ABF and portfolio manager for the Global Fixed Income group.

To support the evolution of the MissionSquare Investments team, the firm also recently promoted Shari Hensrud to chief investment officer.
