Advance Asset Management has hired a new Australian equities portfolio manager.
Mary Feros, who brings over 20 years experience to the role which oversees Advance's multi-manager business, was most recently joint head of investment at 452 Capital.
Advance Asset Management head Patrick Farrell said he was pleased to take on someone of Feros' calibre.
"Mary brings with her an impressive track record in the asset management industry, and more specifically a deep level of research knowledge within Australian equities," he said.
Feros said she was attracted by Advance's team environment, focus on top-down market dynamics and dedication to clients.
She takes over from Dustin Adams who resigned in September, and interim manager Dimitra Voutas, who will return to her core role managing the property portfolio.
