Legg Mason expands sales team in Australia
Legg Mason has appointed Scott Bradley as its new national business development manager in Australia.
The company said Bradley had 11 years of investment and relationship experience in the US as well as broad knowledge of markets and financial planning.
He had also spent seven years with Fidelity Investments in the US.
Legg Mason’s managing director, Andrew Sowerby said: “These skills, when coupled with his impressive track record at Fidelity, make him a strong addition to our team, and one who I am sure will be valued by our adviser clients.”
“Although the US and Australian markets differ, there are many common denominators – the need to offer excellent client service, being able to offer quality financial solutions and having a strong insight on the markets – all of which are integral to the Legg Mason offering,” Bradley said.
