In this newly created role, Bahuguna will oversee NTAM’s entire asset allocation effort.

Previously, she served as the lead portfolio manager for the firm’s asset allocation funds and separately managed accounts. She was actively involved in setting the firm’s capital market assumptions, strategic asset allocation, tactical asset allocation, manager selection, and derivative overlays.
