"Kim" Schappert, president and chief executive officer for Federated's investment advisory companies, in a release.

Corapi will also assist in the development of strategies and policies for domestic and international equity portfolios, which include 80 mutual funds and separately managed accounts totaling approximately $20.9 billion in assets as of June 30, 2002.
