GSFM has built on its retail distribution team with the appointment of Simone Newman as key account manager Victoria and Tasmania and the promotion of Steven Taylor to national distribution manager.

Taylor was previously Queensland state manager and had been with GSFM since 2013. He would continue to be responsible for the Queensland intermediary market and report to Stephen Fletcher, head of retail distribution.

Newman joined from GSFM from Dexus-owned APN Property Group, where she was the head of group marketing and distribution.

GSFM chief executive, Damien McIntyre, said the appointments were a result of strong demand for GSFM’s investment strategies.

“Steven has over 25 years’ experience in retail distribution, and his understanding of the industry as well as his product knowledge are a fantastic resource for our team.  Expanding Steven’s role to include national distribution means that his expertise will be fully leveraged, to the benefit of our sales team, our investment manager partners, and our clients.”

Taylor joined GSFM in 2013 from Challenger Group, where he was state manager, Queensland. Prior to this, he was with Credit Suisse Asset Management, Skandia and Macquarie Bank, where he started his career in 1996.

Newman had 20 years’ experience in marketing and distribution in the financial services industry.  Her first role was at ANZ in business advisory services, joining APN Property Group in 2009.
