Zenith makes three new appointments following restructure

Zenith Investment Partners has announced the appointment of three new staffers in response to business growth demands and a major internal company restructure.

The announcement follows the launch of Zenith Investment Solutions, a new division in the company headed by Zenith associate directors Glen Franklin and Ben Davis. 

Within the new division is Zenith Sector Research, led by Zenith co-founder and director David Wright, and Zenith Alternatives Research, headed by Zenith co-founder and director David Smythe and led by Daniel Liptak.

Jonathan Baird, who assumes the investment analyst role, was previously responsible for producing equity analysis, performance and attribution analysis and liquidity management for Australian Unity.

Due to his extensive experience in retail investment and strong analytical and numerical skills, Aryeh Kraemer has been appointed data analyst. Before joining Zenith, Kraemer provided investment information and product advice as a superannuation consultant at ESSSuper.

Zenith stated that Susan Hodges' appointment as client and sales administrator was pivotal to the research provider's sales, marketing and client service activities. Hodges has over 15 years experience in marketing within the telecommunications, insurance, hospitality and tourism sectors, having held the role of supervisor and senior claims analyst.

In addition to these appointments, Wright also announced the appointment of Christopher Huang as investment analyst with the alternatives research team.

Wright said the company restructure announced in June was well received by the marketplace and Zenith's clients. The latest appointments meant that the company was better placed to address future industry requirements.
