(February 7 – 16:00 ET) – Rob Hain, president and CEO of AIM Funds Management Inc., has joined parent-company Amvescap plc’s executive board.

The executive board is the senior management body that oversees and supervises the Amvescap’s business and strategy around the world. Hain led the firm’s acquisition of Trimark Financial Corp. last year.

Also, following the retirement of vice chairman Ted Bauer on December 31, Michael Benson, CEO of the global division, and Robert Graham, CEO of AIM, have both been elected vice chairman of the Amvescap board of directors. Benson continues as head of the company’s global division, and Graham continues to lead Houston-based AIM.

“These appointments meet the evolving business needs of our growing, dynamic organization,” said Charles Brady, Amvescap’s executive chairman. “With these announcements, we continue to increase the breadth of experience in the senior management team as we push forward toward our goal of becoming a leading player in each of the world’s major investment markets.”
