Insync ramps up with hires


Boutique fund manager Insync Fund Managers has appointed former Bell Potter staffer David Johns as its business development manager.
Insync announced the appointment this week, pointing to Johns’ 25 years experience in financial markets across stockbroking and funds management and the fact that he started his career as a stockbroking research analyst, covering mostly industrial stocks with an emphasis on the media and retail sectors.
Insync said the Johns’ appointment had followed on from its recent hiring of Nitesh Patel as a senior investment analyst and assistant portfolio manager.
Insync head of research and sales Marcus Tuck said the hires reflected the company’s growth.
