Ex-Macquarie execs start at Perpetual
Perpetual Investmentstoday confirmed the roles of two formerMacquarie Funds Management(MFM) staffers, who joined the group back in December, teaming up with former MFM head David Deverall.
MFM head of distribution and institutional sales - Fiona Dunn and Matt Perrignon respectively - resigned just before Christmas along with head of equity research and qualitative equity research - Dr. Phil Dolan and Steve Guibin respectively.
At the time it was not revealed the positions Dunn and Perrignon would hold within Perpetual.
Dunn and Perrignon will now assume the roles of general manager wholesale and head of institutional sales respectively, after commencing with Perpetual this week.
Dunn will have responsibility for managing the business unit responsible for institutional client sales and service to asset consultants, fund trustees and research houses, while Perrignon will focus on sales within this division.
Group executive Gerard Doherty says the appointments are important to the group as it aims to market its products and service to institutional clients.
“Their combined experience will be extremely valuable as Perpetual aims to grow and strengthen its relationships with wholesale clients and key stakeholder groups,” Doherty says.
Following the above group of four departing back in December Macquarie moved quickly to plug the gaps left in its operation by reshuffling a number of roles to accommodate the changes.
At the time the group said it would only actively seek a replacement for Dunn, with group head Ben Bruck who replaced Deverall back in September assuming all account management responsibilities in the meantime.
Bruck is assisted by account managers Doug Bryden, Greg Johnson and Peter Gillespsie, the latter recently joining fromAMP Henderson.
