Altius appoints new head of credit research
Altius Asset Management has appointed Vanessa Thomson to the role of head of credit research.
With over 18 years experience in financial services, Thomson was most recently senior research analyst - income assets in the fixed income department at ING Investment Management. Prior to this she worked at Macquarie Bank in London in project and structured finance.
Altius' senior portfolio manager Chris Dickman said that Thomson's appointment is consistent with the fund manager's approach in taking advantage of credit opportunities in the market to optimise returns for investors.
"Vanessa has a diverse range of sector experience both across investment and sub-investment grade levels, and tremendous quantitative skills, which will prove very useful to our investment activities," Dickman said.
Altius is a fixed interest specialist asset manager established as a result of a joint venture with Australian Unity Investments in February this year.
