Lonsec has made a key appointment within its investment research team to bolster its capabilities within the fund manager research space.
Peter Green has been appointed Sector Manager, Australian Equities, with responsibility for leading Lonsec’s coverage of Australian equity managed fund products. Mr Green will also retain his current position as Head of Listed Products, covering Lonsec’s ever-growing universe of exchange traded funds and other listed products.
Lonsec Research Executive Director Lorraine Robinson said Mr Green’s wealth of experience, including 12 years at Lonsec working across managed funds, listed products, and direct equities research, will put Lonsec in a strong position to manage growth.
“Peter is one of the most experienced and consummate research analysts in the Australian market, so we are very pleased that he will be moving into this expanded role,” said Ms Robinson.
“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. 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 has also appointed Chad Troja as Head of Direct Equities. Mr Troja has been a member of Lonsec’s direct equities team since 2017 and has over 15 years’ experience in equities research and funds management. Asha Rahman has joined Lonsec’s research team as an Associate Investment Analyst and Rish Chaudhuri will commence as an Investment Analyst in October.
