Natixis IM appoints two distribution execs
Natixis Investment Managers has appointed Danny King as head of institutional sales and Jason Guthrie as head of wholesale.
The two appointments followed the asset management firm’s enhancements with Investors Mutual Limited (IML), as the companies created a multi-channel distribution platform. The partnership will combine Natixis IM’s established institutional channels alongside IML’s retail and wholesale channels to form increased distribution resources.
This will allow clients to have greater access to its portfolio of investment managers across institutional, wholesale and retail markets.
King was promoted to head of institutional sales with wide experience and networks at the firm, previously working as director of institutional sales across the last two years.
Guthrie joined Natixis IM to guide the wholesale and retail teams in his new role. For the last four years, he worked as head of distribution for Investors Mutual.
Both King and Guthrie will report to Louise Watson, country head for Australia and New Zealand at Natixis IM.
She commented: “Natixis Investment Managers is excited to welcome a great team of individuals from IML. We want to combine our expertise in the region by offering a competitive and market leading platform that will deliver growth and the opportunity to bring new strategies to this market.”
“Our focus on delivering sustainable solutions from a number of our affiliates has resonated strongly with investors as they align their investment choices with their beliefs.”
