In his new role, Mr Comino will focus primarily on institutional opportunities for Man Group’s long-only investment strategies.

Mr Comino has over 25 years of experience in the financial services industry. He joins the firm from HSBC Global Asset Management, where he worked in institutional sales, and previously held roles at Merrill Lynch, HFA Asset Management and IPAC Investment Services.

Hersh Gandhi, Managing Director, Asia-Pacific, Man Group, said: “I am delighted to welcome Chris to our institutional team in Sydney. His appointment reflects our commitment to invest in our institutional business in Australia, and his wealth of experience with institutional clients across a range of investment strategies will be a great addition to our existing team. We continue to see growing interest from institutional investors in our offering of investment strategies, and Chris will play a key role in helping us to meet that demand.”

“In particular, over the past 5 years Chris has worked closely with leading emerging markets debt portfolio manager Guillermo Ossés, who joined Man GLG at the start of this year. His detailed understanding of Guillermo’s distinctive investment process will be of great value to Australian and New Zealand institutions.”
