Antares Equities appoints general manager
NAB Asset Management's boutique fund manager Antares Equities has appointed Brendan Donohoe as its new general manager.
Donohoe has been with Antares since 2012 in the role of head of institutional sales and with the NAB Group for five years.
Prior to this, Donohoe was a divisional director at JANA Investment Advisers, responsible for managing its business development, marketing, and communications divisions.
"I've been with Antares since 2012 and in these three years the business has continued to strengthen its capabilities and distribution network. I'm looking forward to the next stage of its growth and being an integral part of its future," Donohoe said.
NAB Asset Management's executive general manager, Garry Mulcahy, said "It was paramount to us that in appointing the right candidate we found someone with the right leadership qualities and industry experience. We believe Brendan is the perfect candidate to drive the business forward".
"Antares is a critical component of the NAB Asset Management suite of investment solutions, with the foundation of the business being formed in 1994 before growing into the business it is today with over $7.7 billion [in] funds under management," he said.
