BetaShares hires for first WA office
BetaShares has opened an office in Perth with former financial planner, Brendan Prowse, leading its distribution efforts in Western Australia.
Prowse joined BetaShares from Vanguard where he was a business development executive for 11 years and had previously worked at AMP and Zurich. He also spent seven years as a certified financial planner with AMP.
At BetaShares, he would be director of distribution and began the role last month.
Alex Vynokur, chief executive of BetaShares, said: “We are delighted to welcome someone of Brendan’s calibre to our growing team. Brendan is well-known and highly regarded across the financial services industry, particularly in his home state of Western Australia.
“BetaShares has been fortunate to benefit from strong growth and Brendan’s appointment allows us to expand our presence in Western Australia by adding a dedicated resource for the more than 1,700 financial advisers in that state.”
Prowse added: “I’m excited to join one of Australia’s largest, experienced and dedicated distribution teams in the funds management industry. I’m looking forward to educating financial advisers about the benefits of exchange traded funds (ETFs), as part of a growing team”.
