Insight Investment, a A$1.3 trillion[1] global investment manager, has appointed Ben Ereira as Investment Specialist, based in Sydney.
Ereira’s focus will be working with clients on a broad range of tailored currency and equity risk management solutions, leveraging Insight’s 60-strong solutions team, as well as its FX and derivative trading platforms. He will also support Insight’s multi-asset and fixed income capabilities with Australian investors, asset consultants and researchers.
Ereira brings 25 years domestic and international investment experience focusing on foreign exchange, treasury, money markets, fixed income and derivatives. He was most recently founder and director of Cerca FX Consulting, advising institutional investors, high net worth and family offices on currency programs and operational efficiency. Prior to this, Ereira spent 15 years at Principal Global Investors as Head of Passive Currency and Chief Dealer. He was also Manager, Treasury Sales for Japanese Bank SMBC in Australia, and earlier on in his career, Dealer, Money Market and FX Sales at Korea Exchange Bank, based in London.
Bruce Murphy, Director Australia and New Zealand, said: “Ben is a great fit for our organisation. He has a strong track record working with clients on solutions to manage their risk exposures, which aligns with the heritage and core capabilities of Insight Investment. COVID-19 has put a spotlight on the importance of having strong risk management processes in place to manage uncertainty, and the need in the growing retirement space for better sequencing risk solutions. We’re very much looking forward to Ben being part of our team.”
Insight manages more than A$23bn[2] on behalf of Australian investors and has offices in London, Dublin, Frankfurt, New York, Sydney and Tokyo.
