Acadian announces CEO appointment
Acadian Asset Management Australia has announced the appointment of Sydney-based Gillian Savage as chief executive.
Savage replaced Andrew Hair who had been in the CEO role for the last 10 years and with the business for over 15 years.
Savage had been senior vice president, sales and client service, at Acadian in Australia for over 13 years. Prior to Acadian, Savage was global head of client services at Colonial First State Global Asset Management (CFSGAM) and head of distribution services at Deutsche Asset Management.
“I’m thrilled about the new role, and we will continue to work with our clients to meet their investment goals through our systematic and data-driven investment approach,” she said.
“Acadian's local focus is on continuing to build our equities offering, including looking at new data-based approaches to ESG investing and growing our multi-asset capability in both the institutional and wholesale channels in Australia.”
The Australian investment team would be left unchanged with investment leader, JC de Beaulieu, reporting to director of equities, Ryan Taliaferro, in Boston.
