Dawson takes over management of the group’s financial planning activities fol-lowing the departure of Paul Kofod who has left to manage St George Bank’s fi-nancial planning arm.
Dawson will also continue in his role as general manager of Chifley’s consulting services division.
Dawson’s track record in the retail side of the industry in both Sydney and Mel-bourne is considerable, including a stint at Perpetual Funds Management taking the group from a start-up concern to one of the powerhouses of the industry in Austra-lia.
He also a number of years with LGT Asset Management before it became Invesco Asset Management two years ago.
The move comes as Chifley is set to expand their presence in the eastern states, Dawson says, with the placement of staff in Melbourne and Brisbane to comple-ment existing efforts in Sydney.
