Lonsec adds equities responsibilities to listed products head

Lonsec's Peter Green has taken on additional responsibilities. In addition to his position as head of listed products, Green has been appointed sector manager for Australian equities. He will lead the organisation's coverage of Australian equity managed fund products.

Lonsec Research executive director Lorraine Robinson said Green's experience, including more than 12 years with the organisation working on managed funds, listed products, and direct equities research, will help the organisation manage growth. "Peter is one of the most experienced and consummate research analysts in the Australian market," she said. "We are very pleased that he will be moving into this expanded role."

Green first joined Lonsec in 2008 as the head of rating for direct property. He has been promoted several times, being named head of listed products in 2018.

Before joining Lonsec, Green held analyst and auditing roles with Centro Properties Group and Arthur Andersen.

"We are seeing a steady uptick in new investment products entering the Lonsec rated universe, and Peter's appointment, along with recent new hires, will help us accommodate this growth while maintaining the quality of our coverage and continuing to innovate our research offering," said Robinson.

Lonsec has also appointed Chad Troja as head of direct equities.
