INGIM appointments to bolster adviser relationships
ING Investment Management (INGIM) is strengthening its business development and distributions teams now that it is able to build direct relationships with advisers.
The sale of ING Group’s ING Australia joint venture holding to ANZ Bank late last year resulted in INGIM being able to form direct relationships with the advising community for the first time, INGIM Australia’s head of sales, Jim McKay said following two key appointments that he asserted would bolster INGIM’s presence in the wholesale intermediary market.
“This segment of the market is a key area of focus for INGIM’s local strategy and we look forward to announcing further additions to our team as part of our plans to deliver a new servicing model for financial advisers,” he added.
Natalie Grey has been appointed northern regional manager and will be responsible for building a presence in New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory and Queensland, while Lucie Douez has been appointed business development manager for the southern region.
McKay added that plans were in place to bring “new and exciting” products to market in the coming months.
