Macquarie Private Wealth has appointed Patrick Dieter to the role of head of national wealth protection as it moves to strengthen its insurance business.
Formerly a national risk development manager at Hillross, Dieter will now lead “the national development of Macquarie’s wealth protection business” in the newly created role, working closely with advisers in a team of risk specialists.
Macquarie said key focus areas would be life cover, asset and income protection, “and the critical role insurance can play in both estate planning and business succession”.
Before joining Hillross, Dieter was a business development manager at AMP, having moved to Australia from Canada in 1999 to work in the financial services industry.
