Alphinity adds portfolio managers

Trent Masters has joined Alphinity Investment Management as a portfolio manager.

He's joined by Mary Manning as a fellow portfolio manager, looking after the Alphinity Global Equity Fund and active involvement in the fund's newly-launched Alphinity Global Sustainable Equity Fund.

"Trent and Mary bring a tremendous depth of experience and investment pedigree to Alphinity that will help reinforce and sustain the track record of excellence we have been able to establish and embed," said Alphinity Global portfolio manager Jonas Palmqvist. "Importantly, their complementary, diverse backgrounds bring new and alternative perspectives that will enrich discussions as we work through our well-established investment process."

Masters spent the last two years with Global Evolution Capital, which he founded in 2019. He also spent more than a decade with Colonial First State Global Asset Management as a senior analyst and portfolio manager of global long-short funds and hedge fund-of-funds. He also spent time with Commonwealth Bank in strategy and M&A roles.
