Jaap Kraan, Dutch asset manager NN IP’s managing director of Netherlands and the Nordics, is leaving to join Los Angeles-based Capital Group, one of the world’s largest asset managers.

He will join the US firm on the country’s independence day, July 4, according to a post he wrote on his Linkedin profile.

In the statement, Kraan writes that he is long-time admirer of Capital Group and is fascinated by its ”distinctive and successful long-term investment approach.”

”In my new role, I will continue to interact with and serve Nordic investors, and I will also pick up the coverage of Dutch investors. Professionally I can’t think of anything better than this. I also look forward to start working together with my new colleagues, and in particular with my new best friends Feike Goudsmit & Thomas van Onna, CFA to continue building the business and servicing Capital Group’s clients.”
