"[Inifer] understands the advice landscape and has a proven track record in building relationships at all levels of the distribution chain."

Said Inifer, "This role provides me with a great opportunity to draw on both my banking and asset management background, as well as allowing me to continue working closely with financial advisers and their clients. Alexander Funds is uniquely placed to assist in accessing opportunities within the credit markets and meeting investors' income requirements."
