Lonsec appoints senior investment analyst

Lonsec has hired Ron Mehmet as a senior investment analyst. Mehmet joined in April after more than three years with Perpetual Limited.

Before Perpetual, Mehmet spent several years with BT Financial Group as head of sector portfolio management. He also held senior roles with ING Australia and CBA.

Mehmet was joined by Sebastian Lander, who joined the multi-asset team from Julliard Financial Services.

"We're very excited to welcome Ron and Sebastian. Their portfolio management experience not only adds to our capabilities but also builds on the range of skills and perspectives within the research team," said Lonsec executive director Lorraine Robinson.

The recruitment is part of a push by the business to expand and develop its research offerings.

"The ongoing development in our team means we're able to focus on the delivery of new services so advisers can access better research that lets them do more."
