Chair of Frontier Advisors, Gabriel Szondy, has retired from his position after eight years.

He had sat on the board since February 2008 and as chair since July 2014.

Szondy would be replaced as chair by Angela Emslie who had been a director at the firm since 2011. Emslie also sat on the board of State Trustees and Reinsurance Group of America ANZ as a non-executive director.

His departure brought the board down to six members and Frontier said they would not seek a new director at this time.

Frontier Advisors chief executive, Andrew Polson, said: “During Gabriel’s tenure on our board, the firm evolved from a relatively simple business working primarily with superannuation funds, to a group nearing 150 clients across a range of sectors and geographies. Gabriel has led the firm through that evolution and leaves Frontier as the market leader and well placed to enter our next period of growth.”

This included the establishment of Frontier’s global investment research alliance and its Partners Platform technology and the introduction of specialist sector researchers.

“Frontier is a vitally important part of the institutional investment landscape. It’s critical that a high quality, independent adviser like Frontier is available to partner with asset owners of all sizes and structures. I’m very excited for what lies ahead for Frontier and the role it will continue to play,” Szondy said.
