Alcock departs Vanguard
Ian Alcock has resigned as managing director of Vanguard Investments Australia after nearly a decade at the helm of the funds manager.
Alcock’s resignation “to pursue new business interests outside of the organisation” was announced late on Friday and sees Vanguard’s chairman, Jeremy Duffield, acting as managing director until a new appointment is made.
The head of Vanguard’s international business, James Norris, thanked Alcock for his years of service to the company both in Australia and in Europe.
Alcock was named managing director of Vanguard, succeeding Duffield, in September but had been responsible for its Australian operations since 2007.
