Direct investment manager nabInvest has expanded its institutional distribution team by appointing two new investment specialists.
Kate Bell and Stuart Haigh will bring a combined 22 years' experience to the team which is led by global head of institutional distribution Rob Sullivan, who started the position in March this year.
The appointments build on a year of significant growth in nabInvest business partners in Australia and the US, it said.
The company aims to develop strategies for the distribution of nabInvest's boutique partners to domestic and global investors, it said.
Bell has 12 years' experience in the finance industry in positions with Macquarie Bank, NGS Super and Credit Suisse Asset Management. Bell's expertise includes raising assets across multiple asset classes and strategies.
Haigh has been supporting the private client market for more than a decade and will hone in on private banks and the family office market to bolster nabInvest's high net worth strategy.
He has experience raising assets for boutique and institutional clients across all asset classes.
