Asset manager appoints deputy equities head


Perpetual Asset Management Australia (PAMA) has appointed Anthony Aboud as deputy head of equities.
He had more than 23 years’ experience and had worked at Perpetual since 2012. He would continue to work closely with Vince Pezzullo, who was appointed head of equities in November.
PAMA group executive, Amanda Gillespie, said: “Anthony is a highly regarded investor and has extensive experience in the Australian market including particular expertise in managing long/short portfolios.
“Anthony’s appointment comes at a time when the team has never been stronger – with depth and breadth across both the portfolio manager and analyst teams – and positive momentum across investment performance and fund flows.”
Perpetual also announces the appointment of Louise Sandberg as senior equities analyst, where she would cover large and small-cap companies across property, discretionary consumer and consumer staples.
