Vanguard restructures
Jeremy Duffield
A restructure and expansion has seen Jeremy Duffield take on more responsibility as managing director of Asia/Pacific at Vanguard Investments, while the head of institutional business, Ian Alcock, will also assume the head of Australia role.
The changes will see Duffield taking on more responsibility for Vanguard’s Australian and Asia/Pacific operations, while Alcock will be responsible for the institutional and retail segments.
The restructure will see no change to the roles of Robin Bowerman or head of international Trevor Chudleigh, although chief investment officer Eric Smith will spend more time across Asia/Pacific supporting the region.
The company said the restructure followed substantial growth in Australia and significant opportunities identified in the wider Asia-Pacific region.
It said Melbourne would continue as the regional headquarters for Vanguard’s Asia/Pacific operations.
