Fidante Partners appoints BDM



Challenger’s multi-boutique funds management business Fidante Partners has appointed investment banker Gabrielle Munzer as a senior business development manager.
Munzer was previously an executive director, global capital markets at Morgan Stanley in the UK. She also worked at ABN AMRO prior to that.
“The appointment of an executive of Gabrielle’s experience and calibre reflects the rapid growth and internationalisation of our multi-boutique business,” general manager of Institutional Business and Strategic Alliances Michael Clarke said.
Fidante Partners’ funds under management (FUM) have grown from $4.5 billion in the third quarter of 2010 to $34.7 billion in the third quarter of 2014.
Its international businesses include Asian equities manager Metisq Capital, global alternatives specialist WyeTree, and global infrastructure manager Whitehelm Capital.
Challenger recently announced its group assets and FUM had grown by 21 per cent in the last year.
Its funds management FUM grew 2 per cent over the quarter to $45.7 billion, propped up by $0.5 billion of net flows into Fidante Partners.
