Global X ETFs has appointed Jessica Leung from BetaShares as a portfolio manager. 

Leung would join the five-strong Global X portfolio management team and be responsible for fund management, product development and will lead projects to enhance systems and processes.

She was previously an assistant portfolio manager at ETF provider BetaShares, specialising in responsible and ethically-invested funds, and had also worked in portfolio and investment risk management at Macquarie. 

Global X chief executive for Australia, Evan Metcalf, said: “Jessica’s in-depth understanding of the local ETF and responsible investing landscapes will be instrumental in enhancing our portfolio management capabilities and ultimately, our end client offering. 
 
“Expanding our team with experienced staff who also contribute to our company culture is a priority for us, particularly as we have already launched five ETFs this year and have a number of exciting plans in the pipeline for 2023.”

ETFs launched by Global X this year included an Australian Equity ETF, US Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF and an S&P/ASX 200 Covered Call ETF.

Leung added: “I’m passionate about ETFs because they have the power to bring real world investment opportunities to many different types of investors – particularly to those where traditional investment vehicles may not be accessible,” Leung said.
 
“Global X has a focus on research and investor education which is beyond the basics, so paired with my love for promoting financial literacy I believe we can make a meaningful difference to Australian investors.”
