State Street has announced the appointment of Elliot Graham as a Managing Director in the bank’s Portfolio Solutions team, heading the transition management business.
Based in Sydney, Graham will lead State Street’s experienced Transition Management team in the Asia Pacific region and work with asset owners and managers across the Asia Pacific region to restructure portfolios, access liquidity and provide exposure solutions.
Commenting on the appointment, James Woodward, Head of Portfolio Solutions for State Street Global Markets in Asia Pacific said: “We are delighted to have Elliot join our team. He knows this business well and has extensive experience both from a client and transition provider perspective. This appointment continues our focus on hiring the industry’s best people to service our clients.”
“Transition management is a key business for State Street and for our clients. We have an experienced, cross-regional team and an agency model, which enables us to provide access to multiple liquidity channels,” said Woodward.
“With widespread consolidation amongst superannuation / pension funds, together with ongoing changes to asset allocation and manager line ups, State Street is well placed to continue helping funds with their changing portfolio requirements,” Woodward added.
