Fidante Partners appoints BDM
Challenger’s multi-boutique funds management business Fidante Partners has appointed investment banker Gabrielle Munzer as a senior business development manager.
Munzer was previously an executive director, global capital markets at Morgan Stanley in the UK. She also worked at ABN AMRO prior to that.

Its international businesses include Asian equities manager Metisq Capital, global alternatives specialist WyeTree, and global infrastructure manager Whitehelm Capital.
Challenger recently announced its group assets and FUM had grown by 21 per cent in the last year.
Its funds management FUM grew 2 per cent over the quarter to $45.7 billion, propped up by $0.5 billion of net flows into Fidante Partners.
