TORONTO, June 3, 2026 — Middlefield is pleased to announce the appointment of Alexandre Cousineau as Head of Fixed Income, effective June 8, 2026. In this role, Mr. Cousineau will lead the continued development and expansion of Middlefield’s fixed income platform.
“We are excited to welcome Alexandre to Middlefield at an important time for fixed income markets,” said Dean Orrico, President and CEO of Middlefield. “As advisors increasingly look beyond traditional bond strategies, Alexandre brings the depth of experience, market perspective and active management expertise needed to help expand our platform and deliver differentiated solutions for clients.”
Proven Track record in Evolving Credit Markets
Mr. Cousineau most recently served as vice president and portfolio manager at Fiera Capital, where he managed multi-billion-dollar mandates across investment-grade, high yield, securitization and emerging market debt. He has significant client facing and business development experience with a successful track record over the past five years in global multi-sector fixed income.
Mr. Cousineau is a CFA and CAIA Charterholder. He also holds a bachelor’s degree in actuarial mathematics and a master’s degree in financial engineering.
Navigating a Structural Shift in Fixed Income
This strategic appointment comes at a critical time for Canadian investment advisors. As geopolitics, inflation risks and shifting central bank policy continue to challenge the traditional relationship between equities and bonds, active fixed income management is essential and requires deep macro expertise and tactical flexibility.
In light of Middlefield’s history as an award-winning¹ equity income specialist, the expansion of the fixed income platform is a natural evolution for the firm. It also reflects our commitment to equipping advisors with differentiated solutions designed to protect capital, generate attractive tax-efficient income and build more resilient portfolios across evolving market environments.
