GWA launches Australian office
A growing interest in wealth weighted investment strategies within Asia Pacific has prompted Global Wealth Allocation (GWA) to launch an Australian office.
The new Melbourne office will be headed by the former GWA head of research in the UK, Tony Sutton.
“Tony’s extensive knowledge of GWA’s business model, investment philosophy and portfolio construction comes from leading the GWA research function in London for nearly three years,” GWA chief executive David Morris said.
Prior to joining GWA, Morris was a quantitative analyst with Goldman Sachs JBWere.
