Carter, who has been acting in the role since Hutchinson’s departure, has “overall accountability and responsibility” for AWM’s financial planning businesses Bridges Financial Services and Wealth Managers.
Carter has more than 20 year’s wealth management experience, five of those with Bridges Financial Services, most recently as general manager of alliances and distribution.
Carter has over 20 years wealth management experience in senior executive roles, including 10 years with Macquarie Bank and five years with NRMA.
