Mirae business development head moves to Robeco

Global fund manager Robeco has announced the appointment of Chris Wildman as an institutional sales director.

In this Sydney-based role, Wildman will report to head of Robeco Australia, Stephen Dennis, and work closely with Melbourne-based institutional sales director Simon Good.

Commenting on his appointment, Dennis said: "Chris is a welcome addition to the team, and he has a strong track record in working with a variety of clients, with more than 19 years' experience in the financial services industry."

He added: "As our business grows we want to ensure that we continue to be resourced properly, to work collaboratively with our clients across asset classes. Chris' appointment comes at an opportune time, as we are seeing a significant increase in the demand for sustainability considerations to be integrated into client portfolios."

Wildman joins from Mirae Asset Global Investments, where he was responsible for establishing the business in Australia and managing the overall distribution across institutional and wholesale investors. Prior to joining Mirae, he held various roles at AMP Capital Investors, working mainly with Australian institutional investors.

His successor at Mirae is the firm's former head of wholesale and retail distribution, Don Gunawan.
