Aura Group appoints new director
Aura Group is looking to focus more on its funds management businesses with the appointment of Chris Faddy to the position of director, head of distribution.
Faddy, who previously held the same role at BNY Mellon would join Aura with more than 25 years of experience in the financial services industry in both Australia and Singapore, having held roles with Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs and Barclays.
Commenting on his appointment, Faddy said he looked forward to developing new products to meet the needs of the growing business.
The appointment of Faddy comes off the back of Aura Group’s recent acquisition of 100 per cent of shares in licensee dealer group, Australian Capital Financial Planning (ACFP).
