Perpetual appoints new GM, distribution
Perpetual has announced the appointment of a new general manager of distribution for Perpetual Investments.
The company announced that its former head of wholesale business, Matt Thompson, would be filling the role, following the resignation of Dean Winterton.
Confirming the promotion, Perpetual chief executive, Geoff Lloyd, said it was always a good experience to announce the internal promotion of high quality leaders.
"Under Matt's leadership, Perpetual's standing with financial advisers — those working within large institutions as well as independent advisers — has strengthened significantly, with client advocacy at an historic high and at market leading levels," Lloyd said.
"Over the past four years, he has lead a program to increase the effectiveness of the wholesale team's relationship with its strategic accounts, recognising the level of investment sophistication required to earn and retain business in today's environment."
Thompson has more than 20 years' wealth management experience across some of Australia's largest investment management organisations.
