Australian Ethical expands equities team
Australian Ethical has grown its equities team to eight with the appointment of Mason Willoughby-Thomas and Mark Wade to its Sydney-based team.
Australian Ethical's chief investment officer David Macri said the pair would add to the funds team of "expert stock pickers that are focused on high conviction stock selection and long-term outperformance" within the company's ethical parameters.
Willoughby-Thomas will take charge of international equities coverage, focusing on smart energy stocks. He brings more than a decade of experience to the team, drawing on employment with ING Investment Management as a senior equity analyst. He has also worked at ABN Amro and AMP Capital Investors.
Dr Wade has eight years equities research experience, previously working with LINWAR Securities, Ord Minnett and Investors Mutual in the agricultural, biotech and energy sectors.
He worked with Investors Mutual to implement environmental, social and corporate governance factors within its investment research and decision-making processes, encouraging the adoption of the United Nations Principles of Responsible Investment (UNPRI). Dr Wade has also worked at the CSIRO.
