Lonsec expands research team
Research and ratings firm Lonsec has appointed Peter Green as sector manager for Australian equities, responsible for leading Lonsec’s coverage of Australian equity managed fund products.
Green would also retain his current position as head of listed product products which covered the firm’s range of exchange traded funds (ETFs) and other listed products.
He had 12 years’ experience at Lonsec working across manged funds, listed products and direct equities research.
Lorraine Robinson, Lonsec Research executive director, said Green was one of the most experienced and consummate research analysts in the Australian market.
“Peter will now have responsibility for leading our listed product research as well as our Australian equities manager research, allowing us to benefit from Peter’s knowledge and experience in this critical sector,” Robinson said.
“Peter is highly respected among fund managers and has been instrumental in the development of our direct equities research capability, so this is a natural fit for him.
“We are seeing a steady uptick in new investment products entering the Lonsec rated universe, and Peter’s appointment, along with recent new hires, will help us accommodate this growth while maintaining the quality of our coverage and continuing to innovate our research offering.”
Lonsec had also appointed Chad Troja as head of equities; he had been a member of Lonsec’s direct equities team since 2017 and had over 15 years’ experience in equities research and funds management.
Asha Rahman had also joined as associate investment analyst and Rish Chaudhuri would commence as an investment analyst in October.
