LGT Crestone adds to investment team

LGT Crestone has welcomed Jessica Clifford to its investment products and services team that provides strategic asset allocation and market insights to private wealth advisers.

Reporting to Todd Hoare, head of public markets, Clifford has broad experience in asset and wealth management, including significant experience working with stakeholders to develop portfolio strategies. 
She joins as a senior investment analyst.

Demand for advice amongst high net wealth investors has fuelled strong growth for the firm, which added deputy chief investment chief Kevin Wan Lum and head of sustainable investing Amanda MacDonald to the same team.

Clifford has over ten years of experience, specialising in manager selection to optimise dynamic asset allocation.

She spent the last five years at Drummond Capital Partners overseeing the manager research process and researching asset managers across multiple disciplines, including domestic and global equities, infrastructure and real estate, alternatives, and fixed income.

Before that, Clifford worked at Garnaut Private Wealth as an advisor and at AMP in a similar role.
