Led by Scott McLennan as Head of Distribution, the expansion of the distribution team reflects the strong growth of Charter Hall’s Direct business from $3 billion to over $8 billion since 2018.

Mr McLennan said, “The state-based distribution team is designed to better service our growing adviser community in all states and territories. Having our team located close to our clients means we can work collaboratively together to further enhance client outcomes in terms of both service and product offerings.”
