Insto distribution exec joins Bennelong

Bennelong Funds Management has taken a step toward expanding its domestic and offshore institutional capacity with the appointment of Eric Finnell as their institutional distribution executive.

Finnell comes from Fisher Investments where he was the co-head of institutional business development and client services for Australia, New Zealand, and SE Asia. He spent more than 12 years with the organisation in a variety of roles.

Bennelong CEO Craig Bingham said, "We've seen increased interest in our products here in Australia, but also in our UK-based boutiques and their offerings.

"As always, we're focused on delivering the best outcomes for our clients across the globe, and that includes providing access to a suite of diverse and innovative investment strategies. Eric's appointment will ensure our important institutional clients continue to receive the high level of service our investors expect of us."

Finnell will report to Bennelong head of distribution Jonas Daly. "Eric's experience on both the funds management and advisory side of financial services gives him a unique insight into the intermediary market, which will be instrumental in supporting our institutional clients as well as the expansion of our global product base."
