InTechResearch has appointed a head of research — a newly created role that completes the asset consulting firm’s senior executive recruitment drive.
Hugh Dougherty has been hired to head up the InTech research division, which includes Michael Coop, head of investment research, and Fraser Murray and Kris Kondov, heads of manager research and research products, respectively.
Dougherty will report to InTech chief executive officer, Michael Monaghan.
“Research is critical in supporting our traditional and implemented consulting services and InTech is strongly committed to resourcing this area,” Monaghan says.
Dougherty brings more than 20 years experience in a variety of research and strategy roles, including time with the Reserve Bank ofAustralia, BT FinancialGroup, AMP, MerrillLynch and Credit SuisseFirst Boston.
More recently, Dougherty has been lecturing at Macquarie University on international investment and risk and microeconomic analysis.
Dougherty’s appointment completes the senior executive team appointments, which comprises Michael Monaghan as chief executive officer, Ron Liling — chief investment officer, Brett Elvish — executive director, Sandra Donnarumma — chief operating officer and David McMahon — head of consulting.
Last month, InTech appointed former Deutsche Asset Management’s (DeAM) Michael Bonhote to a new head of product role, Angus Carson also formerly of DeAM as a senior consultant and ex-RussellInvestment Group staffer Anne Blayney into a consulting role.
