Dimensional Fund Advisors veteran joins Capital Fund Management

Global quant asset manager, Capital Fund Management (CFM), has announced the appointment of Mark Yetman to the newly-created role of director, investor relations for Asia-Pacific.

Yetman, who commenced the role on 1 February 2018, reports to Steve Shepherd, CFM's head of Asia-Pacific at the newly-established Sydney office.

Commenting on Yetman's appointment, Shepherd said: "The investor relations role is a crucial position as we continue to build our presence on the ground in Australia. Happily, we have found the perfect fit in Mark, who has a detailed understanding of alternative beta strategies and their benefits. In addition, Mark has a great deal of experience with institutional investors as well as financial advisers in the Australian and the wider Asia-Pacific markets, and has a track-record of successfully growing a business."

Yetman added: "CFM has a track-record of over 27 years at the cutting edge of alternative beta strategies and, in my opinion, offers some of the best funds in the market. The robust academic focus really appeals to me, and I am also looking forward to working with the excellent team of people I have met at CFM."
