Three departures from AMP Capital GIE team
There have been further key changes within AMP Capital's Global Infrastructure Equities team.
The company announced this week that a "realignment"aimed at strengthening the company's capabilities, had led to the departure of three senior staff members.
The company announced that Head of Infrastructure for Australia and New Zealand, Paul Foster, Head of Customised Accounts, Infrastructure, Chris Wade, and Head of Listed Debt, John Mitchell, will all leave AMP in the wake of a series of changes aimed at expanding international investment capability.
Under the revamp, former Head of Infrastructure for Europe and the Americas, Boe Pahari, was named as Global Head of Infrastructure Equity, late last year.
While the Separately Managed Accounts and Origination functions will be merged and Michael Bessell, who is currently Global Head of Origination, will take on an expanded role as Head of Separately Managed Accounts and Origination, Australia and New Zealand.
The funds management team will also be combined to focus on delivering investment expertise across AMP Capital's key sectors of energy/utilities, transport and airports. Michael Cummings, currently AMP Capital Infrastructure Equity Fund Manager, has been promoted to lead the team as Head of Australia and New Zealand Funds.
Social Infrastructure and Aged Care will be combined and headed up by Julie-Anne Mizzi, currently AMP Capital Community Infrastructure Fund Manager, as Head of Social & Aged Care, Australia and New Zealand.
