Brown resurfaces in director role with investment group
Former Bennelong Funds Management chief executive Jarrod Brown has begun a new role with Wingate Group and will oversee distribution and marketing into the retail financial services space.
Brown started with Wingate on October 6, four months after leaving Bennelong, and will be based out of Wingate's Melbourne office.
Wingate was setup by former ANZ Private Bank and Investec senior executive Farrel Meltzer in 2003 and offers investments into global equities, private equity and mezzanine and direct property as well as corporate advisory services to wholesale and high net worth clients.
Brown said as a director with Wingate he would be involved in packaging the current offerings for new markets, including retail financial advisers.
He said the group saw "broader opportunities across distribution lines for the solutions on offer. We have a high quality of funding and investments that need a directed focus and are looking into how we do that".
Brown was with Bennelong for more than six years and prior to that role had worked for Standard and Poors, IOOF and ING and continues to be a non-executive Director of Australia Ratings which issues credit ratings on debt securities, bonds and fixed income products offered in the Australian financial market.
