Overview
The Investment Product Specialist (IPS) team is part of the Asset Class Services (ACS) team within Capital Group’s (CG) Europe and Asia business. IPS partners with the team of Investment Directors (ID) to deliver deep expertise on CG’s investment strategies both internally and externally. Collectively they are the voice of CG’s investment strategies. The IPS and ID teams are two sides of the same coin, the ID is focused on being the external voice, while the IPS is focused on internal partners and stakeholders. IPS also plays an important role in thinking strategically about the growth and evolution of its product coverage, partnering closely with Client and Marketing teams to unlock additional growth opportunities.
The individual in this role will take a lead role in representing our Future Generations Equity and Multi-Asset strategies which make up our flagship Sustainability offering.

The individual must be comfortable working across asset classes and collaborating with other Investment Product Specialists to support consistency in product-specific messaging. Each Investment Product Specialist is responsible for developing and delivering messaging, including S&G-related content, within their respective product areas, with the Future Generations IPS serving as an escalation point to provide subject matter expertise on complex product-specific S&G issues. Self-motivation, intellectual curiosity and the ability to collaborate effectively across teams and geographies will be critical.
