Bargholz appointed Fidelity’s new senior investment director
Former AllianceBernstein chief executive Michael Bargholz has been recruited to Fidelity as a senior investment director.
Bargholz’s appointment was confirmed by Fidelity’s Australian managing director Gerard Doherty, who said it would strengthen the company’s Australian investment and business teams.
He said the investment director was a new position for Fidelity’s Australian business, although investment directors performed a pivotal role in the company’s investment teams in the UK, Europe and Asia, acting as an important conduit between the investment and business teams.
Doherty said Bargholz’s primary responsibility would be to work closely with Fidelity’s equity and fixed income investment teams across the globe.
