The strategic hires come as Bentham continues to see heightened investor interest in credit strategies, driven by market volatility and a growing shift toward defensive portfolio allocations.

René Tetteroo joins the firm with more than a decade of institutional asset management experience. He previously held senior distribution and relationship management roles at Lazard Asset Management and Schroders, where he worked closely with superannuation funds, insurers and government entities. His cross-asset expertise spans fixed income, equities and alternatives. René holds a Bachelor of Commerce (Finance and Economics) and First Class Honours in Finance from Griffith University, along with a Diploma of Financial Planning.

Joshua Poi arrives from FIIG Securities, where he served as an associate in the fixed income sales division, advising private clients. A qualified solicitor, Joshua was admitted to the Supreme Court of Queensland in 2024 following his tenure at Norton Rose Fulbright. He holds a Bachelor of Laws (First Class Honours) and a Bachelor of Commerce (Finance) from Bond University, where he studied on a full scholarship.

“We are pleased to welcome René and Joshua to the Bentham team at a time when investor demand for sophisticated credit solutions continues to grow,” said Richard Quin, Founder and Chief Investment Officer at Bentham Asset Management. “With 2025 poised to be a pivotal year for active management, their expertise will support deeper engagement across our client base.”

“Despite ongoing market volatility, Bentham’s multi-sector credit strategies have delivered strong results this quarter, outperforming cash, traditional fixed interest and broad credit indices.

“With over two decades of experience across multiple cycles, our team has consistently demonstrated its disciplined credit expertise as a global credit asset manager. Our long track record across our funds is a testament to our deep understanding of credit markets and our commitment to delivering strong, risk-adjusted returns for our investors,” Quin added.

Bentham manages a suite of credit-focused strategies for institutional and wholesale investors, with a commitment to delivering income and capital stability through global credit market cycles.
