Standard Life hires two investment directors
Global asset manager Standard Life Investments has appointed two new investment directors in Australia to address increased demand from local investors for its multi-asset and fixed income solutions.
Matthew Newham joined Standard Life from JANA Investment Advisers, where he was responsible for business development, marketing and communications functions for almost seven years.
He will be based in Sydney and responsible for developing the company's wholesale business across Australia and New Zealand.
Jill Shaw, who also joined Standard Life Investments as an investment director, will head the development of its institutional business in Australasia.
Both Newham and Shaw will report directly to head of Australasia at Standard Life Investments, Simone Bouch.
"We are seeing increasing demand from Australian investors for multi-asset and fixed income absolute returns strategies and growing interest in global real estate solutions, where we believe Standard Life Investments offers best of class capabilities," Bouch said.
"The size and sophistication of the Australian market makes it an important region for Standard Life Investments and I am confident that we have the skills and expertise in place to provide clients with innovative investment solutions and high levels of service."
