Based in Sydney, Thurgood would be responsible for identifying and developing relationships with pension funds, private banks, fund of funds, institutional investors, investment consultants and other investors in Australia and New Zealand.
He would report to Chris Briant, chief executive Australasia for Parametric Portfolio Associate, an Eaton Vance Corp affiliate.
