Perennial boosts sales and distribution team
Perennial Partners has made two senior appointments in its sales and distribution team.
The firm had promoted Cesar Farfan to head of distribution while Chris Comino had joined as institutional sales director.
Farfan was currently head of retail distribution at the firm, which he joined in November 2015, and would commence the new role on 4 April, 2022.
In the role, he would be responsible for retail and institutional distribution as well as marketing and client services teams.
Comino had joined the firm from Man Group where he was an institutional sales manager and would also join on 4 April, 2022. He previously held roles at Merrill Lynch and HSBC Asset Management.
Anthony Patterson, executive director at Perennial, said: “These appointments reflect Perennial’s strategic focus on equipping and resourcing our firm to better service a wholesale market in Australia that continues to institutionalise and an evolving institutional market.
“Our diverse range of specialist investment teams bring a range of investment solutions to the market and we look forward to doing so with Cesar and Chris in their new positions.”
