Hanson said: “Lukasz has the ideal experience and knowledge to support our business in the Australian market and understands the needs of our clients as they face challenging market and economic conditions. His strong knowledge of portfolio construction, investment analysis and asset allocation will be particularly valuable”.
De Pourbaix announced his mid-June departure in April and his executive director role was being held by Michael Wright, Lonsec chief executive and managing director for Implemented Portfolios. His CIO responsibilities were being handled by Deanne Baker.
Baker would also chair the Lonsec Investment Solutions Asset Allocation Investment Committee and join the IPL Asset Allocation Investment Committee (IPL AAIC) as a member.
