MA Financial appoints executive director
The global alternative asset manager has welcomed an experienced distribution lead to its leadership team.
MA Financial has appointed Renee Oldfield as executive director in the asset management business.
According to the asset manager, Oldfield’s appointment will support the growing demand from financial intermediaries and family offices across Australia.
She joins MA Financial with considerable experience across real estate, private credit and fixed interest, having most recently served as regional distribution manager at Charter Hall.
Moreover, Oldfield has held roles at Acure Asset Management Limited, FIIG Securities, Aspen Group Limited and Macquarie Group.
In her new capacity with MA Financial, she will be based in Perth and primarily responsible for the company’s key stakeholder relationships in both Western Australia and South Australia.
“I am delighted to welcome someone of Renee’s calibre to our team,” Lee Hayes, head of domestic distribution for MA Financial Group, said on Oldfield’s appointment.
“Her extensive and relevant experience and knowledge, in addition to her exceptional relationships, will be valuable to both our team and our clients across the region.
“Renee’s appointment signifies the growing demand for alternative investments from our clients and is a critical step in building out our distribution capabilities to ensure client coverage across the country.”
The announcement follows several milestones for the company this year, including the launch of its inaugural ASX-listed private credit fund, the MA Credit Income Trust, and its recent partnership with Warburg Pincus to launch a $1 billion+ real estate credit vehicle.
