Equity Trustees appoints responsible investing lead
Equity Trustees has continued the expansion of its asset management team with the appointment of Dilan Ashton to the newly-created role of general manager, responsible investing.
Ashton joined Equity Trustees from Warakirri Asset Management, where she was a senior business development associate. Prior to that, she was a senior analyst at JBWere for more than 10 years.
In her new role, she would be responsible for developing expertise and thought leadership in responsible investing, working closely with portfolio managers to help shape how the latest developments in the area were reflected in Equity Trustees Asset Management’s investment strategies.
Darren Thompson, head of asset management at Equity Trustees, said: “The new role in the team reflects our continuing focus on responsible investing – it’s what our clients want and is the way of the future.
“Dilan’s appointment will support our service to our clients - including private clients, charitable and not for profit organisations while we remain focussed on continuing to achieve excellent results for them.
“Safeguarding the wealth of Australian individuals, communities, families and charities is a part of our DNA as key part of Australia’s leading specialist trustee company.
“We are delighted to welcome Dilan to Equity Trustees. Her capability and experience will be essential as we continue to meet high demand for responsible investing.”
