Henderson expands distribution team in Australia

Independent global asset manager, Henderson Global Investors, has expanded their distribution team in Australia with the appointment of Tom Kelly in a newly-created role as a sales director, based in the firm's new Brisbane office.

Kelly has over 10 years' experience in financial services and joins from BlackRock where he was responsible for developing and maintaining Key Account and Multi Manager relationships.

Head of distribution at Henderson Australia, Matt Gaden, said: "Queensland is one of our largest markets and is growing rapidly... Despite the challenging market conditions, we have seen solid net flows from both retail and institutional clients across a diverse range of our local and global investment capabilities. With an experienced national distribution team, we believe the foundations seem firmly laid to build out our Australian business in the years ahead."
