Greencape hires former BlackRock executive


Former BlackRock equities specialist Jonathan Koh has been appointed to the role of investor at boutique Australian equity manager Greencape Capital.
Koh was most recently vice-president, equity analyst with BlackRock's fundamental Asian equity team and was responsible for stock picking across the Australian market, focusing on the resources, energy, transport, infrastructure and A-REITs sectors.
Before that, he worked as an executive across business recovery, forensic accounting and transaction services within PricewaterhouseCoopers' corporate finance and recovery division.
