Infinity Capital Solutions announces new distribution hire
Igor Kolevski has joined Infinity Capital Solutions as national distribution manager, effective 12 November.
In the newly created role, he is tasked with leading initiatives to strengthen the firm’s managed accounts offering, particularly in the independent financial adviser (IFA) market.
According to Infinity, the appointment highlights the rising demand from Australian financial advisers for innovative investment management and technology solutions as the firm continues to grow its footprint in the marketplace.
At Infinity, he will be working closely with head of distribution Con Koromilas, who joined the firm in August last year after more than 15 years at abrdn, where he was the head of wholesale business.
“Infinity’s continued growth is driven by the trust and support we receive from financial advisers across Australia,” said Todd Clifford, general manager at Infinity Capital Solutions.
“Igor’s role will be pivotal in building on this momentum, ensuring we remain at the forefront of delivering exceptional adviser support, consistent long-term performance, and institutional-grade solutions that empower advisers to achieve outstanding outcomes for their clients.”
Kolevski brings almost two decades of experience to the role across sales, product development, relationship management and client service.
Prior to joining Infinity, he was the director of national distribution at abrdn/SG Hiscock, leading distribution strategies for SMA model managers and private wealth groups. It followed abrdn’s announcement in January last year of a strategic partnership with Melbourne-based boutique fund manager SG Hiscock to deliver its international funds to the Australian market.
Prior to this, he was a director at abrdn for two years, working with business development clients in NSW, Western Australia and the ACT.
Kolevski’s vast experience includes business development roles at Praemium, NAB, AMP Capital, and Commonwealth Bank.
Infinity explained Kolevski’s appointment also comes at a pivotal time for the business as it continues to innovate its investment operations with the selection of MAIA Technology as its strategic technology platform partner.
The adoption of MAIA Technology bolsters Infinity’s ability to deliver managed account solutions, offering efficiency and scaleability benefits to advisers, it said.
“The MAIA solution provides our business with a market-leading SaaS platform that enables us to manage our portfolio framework through its integration with our existing trading platforms and custodians, while provisioning for future growth opportunities,” explained Piers Bolger, chief investment officer at Infinity Capital Solutions.
“The experience and client-centric focus of the MAIA team, combined with the comprehensive structure of the platform, provide us with a great partner who can accommodate the needs of our investment solutions business.
“The use of the MAIA platform further highlights Infinity’s growing sophistication and focus on delivering institutional excellence within our investments business.”
