Shaw is in charge of expanding and improving connections with consultants overseas across all investment strategies in stocks and credit from the company’s New York headquarters, as well as fundamentally growing First Eagle’s institutional business.

Louanges stated: “We are thrilled that Allison has joined First Eagle as Global Head of Consultant Relations. The consultant channel has been and will remain a critical pillar of our institutional business, and Allison’s hiring illustrates our strong commitment to the consulting community and to the institutional business more broadly. Allison’s expertise across investment strategies and commitment to delivering tailored solutions bolsters the capabilities of our Consultant Relations team, while her leadership skills will promote a unified pursuit of excellent service across First Eagle’s institutional business.”
Shaw remarked of her new position: “I am absolutely delighted to embark on this new chapter with First Eagle Investments. I am eager to partner with my team and other First Eagle colleagues to continue cultivating strong partnerships and delivering value-added solutions in the ever-evolving consultant community.”
