Bennelong appoints Phipps to distribution team
Bennelong Funds Management has reshuffled its distribution team by appointing Roger Phipps as director of distribution and promoting the incumbent Andrew Aitken.
Andrew Aitken has been promoted to the role of head of distribution, while Phipps will take on the role of director of distribution, based in Melbourne.
Phipps has previously held a number of senior distribution roles at MAB Funds Management, Legg Mason Asset Management and HSBC Asset Management.
Chief executive Jarrod Brown said the recent addition of Avoca Investment Management, together with the success of its existing partnerships had driven the need to expand the group’s distribution team.
“As a product of our growth, Andrew has rightly assumed responsibility for distribution across all channels,” Brown said.
“He has been performing this function exceptionally for some time, but we felt it important to both formalise the position and recognise his contribution to our continued growth and success,” he added.

A major super fund has defended its use of private markets in a submission to ASIC, asserting that appropriate governance and information-sharing practices are present in both public and private markets.
A member body representing some prominent wealth managers is concerned super funds’ dominance is sidelining small companies in capital markets.
Earlier this month, several Australian superannuation funds fell victim to credential stuffing attacks, which saw a small number of members lose more than $500,000.
Small- to medium-sized funds have become collateral damage in an "imperfect" model for super industry levies, a financial institution has said.
