Fund manager, Alphinity Investment Management, has grown its Australian and global equities teams with the appointment of two senior analysts.

The company announced today it had appointed Stuart Welch to the newly created role of senior research analyst and Richard Hitchens as senior quantitative analyst serving both the Australian and global equities teams.

The announcement said Welch had almost 20 years of Australian and global financial markets experience and a strong academic background. Prior to joining Alphinity, he spent seven years as an investment analyst at Fidelity International Australia covering a range of sectors, including healthcare, banks, diversified financials, infrastructure and transport.

It said that at Alphinity Welch would continue to cover health care as well as transport and infrastructure.

The announcement said Hitchens was replacing Alphinity veteran Shane Kelly who was relocating to the United Kingdom.

It said Hitchens was well known to both equities teams having been a service provider to Alphinity for a number of years and had spent the past six years working at Credit Suisse Australia, serving as director of quantitative research from 2014.

 He qualified as an actuary in 1998 and worked for JB Were, Goldman Sachs JB Were and RBS.
