Suncorp and Tyndall beef up
Brett Himbury
The Suncorp and Tyndall asset management businesses have been combined to form a $27 billion fund manager.
The move, confirmed today by managing director, asset management, Brett Himbury, will see the new business start with fund managers based in Sydney, Brisbane and Auckland, with the Australian operations retaining the Suncorp neutral style equity funds and being headed by Denis Donohue in Brisbane, and the Tyndall intrinsic value equity fund being headed by Bob van Munster in Sydney.
Himbury said the Suncorp and Tyndall fixed interest funds would be headed by Peter Scobie, who would move to Sydney to take up the new role, while Roger Bridges would take an expanded role in the fixed interest team.
Himbury was appointed to head-up the restructured investment operations in July, and it was expected then that significant changes would be implemented.
