AMP Capital continues to add to investment specialists team

AMP Capital Investors (AMP) has now appointed a head for its investment specialists team, unlisted assets, following its recent appointment to the equivalent position in listed assets.

Former Macquarie Group senior vice president, private placement group, New York, Warwick Mancini, has taken on the newly created role.

While at Macquarie, Mancini was responsible for the syndication of all infrastructure and private equity transactions in the United States and raising equity from US investors for non-US deals.

Prior to joining Macquarie, Mancini was senior associate, mergers and acquisitions for Shearman and Sterling in New York and, prior to that, an associate at Allen Arthur Robinson’s corporate and banking departments.

Also boosting AMP’s investment specialist team is the addition of a senior investment specialist for Asia Pacific equities, Brigette Leckie.

Leckie joins AMP from Perpetual Investments where she held the role of head of investment markets research.

Previous roles held by Leckie include BNP Paribas chief economist and various senior economic roles with BZW Australia and New Zealand (now Royal Bank of Scotland), the National Bank of New Zealand and the New Zealand Treasury.

Both appointees will commence their roles in July.
