Forex specialist joins BNY Mellon

Forex specialist Ben Ereira has joined BNY's Insight Investment Australia as an investment specialist. "Ben is a great fit for our organisation," said Bruce Murphy, Insight Investment director for Australia and New Zealand. "He has a strong track record working with clients on solutions to manage their risk exposures, which aligns with the heritage and core capabilities of Insight Investment."

Ereira has more than 20 years of experience across money and foreign exchange markets. He spent nearly 15 years with Principal Global Investors as head of passive currency and was the head of payments and FX at trading platform AXIchain.

Most recently, Ereira was the head of currency overlay at Rochford Capital.

"COVID-19 has put a spotlight on the importance of having strong risk management processes in place to manage uncertainty, and the need in the growing retirement space for better sequencing risk solutions," said Murphy. "We're very much looking forward to Ben being part of our team."

Insight, which manages more than $1.3 trillion AUD globally, represents approximately $23 billion on behalf of Australian investors.
