Global equities manager, Bell Asset Management, has boosted its institutional and wholesale distribution capabilities with the appointment of Amanda MacDonald and James Archer as relationship managers.
MacDonald, who has over 10 years’ industry experience and has held roles at JP Morgan, UBS, Pendal and Macquarie Bank, would join in the institutional distribution team.
Archer, who officially started his role in wholesale distribution late last year after a five-year career in funds management in firms like Challenger and Fidante Partners, would work closely with the head of wholesale, Xanthe Virtue.
Managing director, strategy and distribution, Rob Sullivan, said Bell AM was experiencing high levels of interest for its institutional and wholesale offerings, and the new appointments would play a “pivotal role” in supporting the firm as it continues to attract investor interest.
