The appointments build on the continued growth and strong performance of Schroders’ Australian Equities business, which today manages approximately A$10.2 billion on behalf of clients, up from approximately A$8.0 billion in the last three years.

Supported by strong client demand, sustained investment performance and more than 60 years of market experience, Schroders Australian Equities remains one of Australia’s largest and most successful active domestic equities franchises.

Aaron Binsted will join Schroders in early November 2026 as a Portfolio Manager and Analyst. Aaron brings more than 25 years’ experience in Australian equities, both as an analyst and portfolio manager. For the past 15 years, he co-led Lazard’s Australian Equities strategies. Aaron will join Schroders’ Australian Equities Portfolio Construction Committee for the Schroder Australian Equity Fund alongside Martin Conlon, Andrew Fleming and Justin Haliwell, and will also have analyst responsibilities within the team.

Isaac Boorer has recently joined the team as Investment Analytics and AI Engineer. Isaac joins from Blackwattle Investment Partners, where he spent more than two years as an analyst and trader on the Australian Equities desk, following earlier trading roles at Antipodes and Fidante Partners.

Jeremy Huang will return to Schroders in January 2027 as a junior analyst in the Australian Equities team, having recently completed a summer internship with the business.

Commenting on the appointments, Martin Conlon, Head of Australian Equities at Schroders, said: “These appointments are an important investment in our Australian Equities capability. Our process has always been grounded in deep fundamental research, disciplined portfolio construction and a willingness to continually improve how we identify and assess opportunities for clients.

“Isaac, Aaron and Jeremy each bring different strengths to the team, from data and technology capability through to senior portfolio management experience and emerging research talent. Together, they strengthen the breadth and depth of the team and enhance our ability to deliver differentiated insights and strong long-term outcomes for clients.”

Alison Telfer, Chief Executive Officer of Schroders Australia and New Zealand, said: “Australian Equities has been a core part of Schroders Australia for more than 60 years. The continued growth and strong performance of the business reflects the strength of the team, the consistency of its process and the trust clients place in our active investment approach.

“At a time when some parts of the domestic market are under pressure in Australian equities, and reducing resources or stepping back, Schroders is investing. These appointments reinforce our conviction around this capability and our commitment to the Australian market and building the people, research and technology capability needed to support and deliver for our clients into the future.”

Commenting on his appointment, Aaron said: ‘I’ve always respected Schroders for its disciplined investment approach and strong client focus. I’m looking forward to working with a talented team and contributing to the firm’s continued growth.

As at the end of August 2026, the Schroder Australian Equity Fund had outperformed its benchmark by 6.5% over one year, 1.2% p.a. over five years and 1.2% p.a. since inception, net of fees.
