GQG Partners hires Magellan's Bullock
GQG Partners has hired Daniel Bullock from Magellan as director of wholesale markets Australia as the US firm looks to expand.
Bullock would be responsible for developing and integrating the firm’s strategy as well as expanding its footprint in the Australian wholesale market.
Two funds were currently offered by GQG to the Australia wholesale market, the Global Equity fund and the Emerging Markets Equity fund.

I am excited by his willingness to leave such a respected shop to join GQG Partners in our Australian expansion.
Bullock said: “GQG Partners’ commitment to the Australian market was extremely evident throughout the recruitment process, and having the opportunity to take such a high-quality manager to the wholesale market here is an exciting prospect.”
