Evergreen Alums Reunite at Loomis Sayles

Reported by Armie Margaret Lee

Aziz Hamzaogullari, lead portfolio manager of the Loomis Sayles Growth Fund, has rolled out the welcome mat for his former colleagues from Evergreen Investments (which is now part of Wells Fargo).

Equity research analysts Brian Coyle, Peter Linnard and Rayon Ward have joined Boston-based Loomis Sayles, a subsidiary of Natixis Global Asset Management.

The three worked with Hamzaogullari on the Evergreen Omega Fund and the Evergreen Large Company Growth Fund. The MFWire could not immediately confirm when the trio left Evergreen.

Hamzaogullari himself joined Loomis Sayles last month.

The hiring of the three analysts "completes the process," said Lauriann Kloppenburg, chief investment officer for equities, in a news release on Thursday. "Our goal is to offer compelling strategies in the important domestic large cap growth space."
