Tyndall kicks-off retail growth push
Tyndall Investment Management, as part of its recently announced Promina-backed ten year growth plan, has appointed a national distribution manager to support the firm’s state-wide sales team.
The appointment of Jennifer Davies into the role coincides with the sign-up of market analyst, Jane Lo, with the pair marking the first round of staff additions Tyndall expects to make in coming months.
Davies was previously practice development manager withING’s RetireInvest, having moved there from the role of state manager atTandem Financial Services.
Davies will work alongside the firm’s national retail business development manager, Broderick MacPhail, who was previously managed investments business development manager withChallenger Financial Services Group.
On the appointment, Tyndall head of marketing and sales Phil Galagher says Davies’ background in financial planning, business development and practice development, as well as her Certified Financial Planner qualifications, make her ideally suited to the role.
“Her recruitment will expand the team’s depth and experience and help realise our strategic direction to aggressively target growth in retail funds under management,” Galagher says.
Tyndall recently received the seal of approval from parent Promina for a strong push into the retail market along with the green light to launch a series of funds to retail investors, such as the Tyndall Australian Share Portfolio, the Tyndall Australian Share Core Fund, and a collection of its fixed interest funds.
The group will primarily be targeting independent financial advisers on the retail side, but also reassured its institutional investors that its focus on that aspect of the market will not diffused.
