SG Hiscock expands distribution team

SG Hiscock has hired MLC Asset Management research relationship manager Rebecca Collins to the newly-created role of key account manager.

Collins will be responsible for developing channel opportunities across Australian equities and Australian property securities through the organisation's partnership program with Morgan Stanley IM and LaSalle IM Securities.

Collins first joined NAB in a research relationship role in 2012 and moved to MLC last year. She's also held roles at Macquarie Bank, UBS, and Ellerston Capital.

"Rebecca will be actively engaging with senior research, consulting and management personnel within our existing and prospective distributor network," said SG Hiscock head of distribution Anthony Cochran. "The current trading environment gives rise to pursuing new distribution avenues, and Rebecca's skills and experience will help the business achieve this objective."

"We believe the capacity to recruit staff of such calibre will provide our team with a competitive edge in the market," said Cochran.
