Bennelong creates new national role
Fund manager, Bennelong Funds Management has appointed a new National Account Manager.
The company announced this week it had appointed former Zurich Investments staffer, Zac Wallis to the key role which had been created to strengthen the sales team and reinforce Bennelong’s distribution strategy.
It said Wallis would be joining Bennelong on 27 October and would be based out of its Sydney office where he would contribute to the business development function across all channels, but in particular the national accounts and research relationships.
Announcing the appointment, Bennelong’s Head of Distribution, Andrew Aitken said he believed Wallis’ experience in financial services roles would prove particularly valuable as he had worked both as a research analyst and in distribution.
“Our existing sales team has built strong relationships throughout the industry’s institutional and retail value chains. The introduction of this new role will enable us to better service our clients and expand Bennelong’s distribution footprint,” Aitken said.
