Position: Head of Australia Client Group

Murray Brewer, who spent more than 14 years with T. Rowe Price as director of Australia and New Zealand, has joined Capital Group as its first head of Australia client group.

Brewer, who will be based in Sydney, will report to Capital Group's head of client group for Europe and Asia, Guy Henriques. "Murray has an outstanding track record in identifying and developing products and services that give Australians the best investment and savings outcomes over the long term," said Henriques. "We are truly delighted to welcome him on board during Capital Group's 90th year of successful, active investing for clients.

"His vision and passion will be invaluable in leading the team as we help our clients ride the wake of global economic recovery post-pandemic."

Brewer said that he has admired Capital Group's long-term approach for some time, "From the multi-decade, repeatable investing success of the firm's Capital System investment approach to the company culture where the focus is firmly on the client. Our partnership structure also allows the business to have a long-term perspective to invest significantly in people, technology, and infrastructure that can benefit client outcomes.

"To benefit from the long-term investment shifts that are taking place all over the world, Australian investors need to be looking at firms like Capital Group, which have deep insight and truly global investment capabilities that are set up to deliver to clients and I'm excited to be part of that."

Brewer left T. Rowe Price in late 2020 after more than 14 years. He previously held senior distribution roles with Schroder Investment Management and AMP Capital Investors. He started his financial services career as a BDM with Westpac.
