Fund manager, Grant Samuel Funds Management has expanded its NSW retail sales team.

The firm announced this week it had appointed Stephen Higgins to the newly created role of key account manager in the NSW retail sales team – something which will see him based in Sydney and reporting to the head of retail distribution, Stephen Fletcher.

The company said Higgins would have a key focus on the IFA, private bank and family office channels.

Higgins joins GSFM from Fidante Partners where he was business development manager – Investments, prior to which he held business development roles with a range of institutions in Australia and overseas including Bank of Montreal Global Asset Management in Toronto, Colonial First State Investments, Zurich Investments, Perpetual Investments and UBS in London.

 Commenting on the appointment, GSFM chief executive, Damien McIntyre said growth in demand from the retail market for GSFM’s six local and international fund manager partners had led to the creation of the new position.

The appointment follows the announcement in September that Man Group had entered into a strategic partnership agreement with GSFM positioning Man Group and GSFM to offer new investment products to retail investors in Australia and New Zealand. As part of the partnership, GSFM is additionally primarily responsible for retail distribution of Man Group’s flagship Man AHL Alpha (AUD) fund.
