SGH appoints key account manager
SG Hiscock and Company (SGH) has appointed Rebecca Collins to the newly-created role of key account manager.
She would be responsible for further developing channel opportunities across Australian equities and Australian property securities, as well as global equities and global property securities through SGH’s Partnership Program with Morgan Stanley Investment Management and LaSalle Investment Management Securities.
She would be based in the Sydney office of the Melbourne-based asset manager and report to head of distribution, Anthony Cochran.
Cochran said the appointment reflected strong investor demand as well as the strategic need to broaden distribution lines, primarily through national dealer groups, model portfolio inclusion and managed accounts.
“Rebecca will be actively engaging with senior research, consulting and management personnel within our existing and prospective distributor network,” Cochran said.
“The current trading environment gives rise to pursuing new distribution avenues, and Rebecca’s skills and experience will help the business achieve this objective.
“We believe the capacity to recruit staff of such calibre will provide our team with a competitive edge in the market.”
Collins had worked in financial services for two decades across a variety of marketing and relationship management roles.
She had previously been employed with MLC Asset Management, NAB Asset Management and NAB Wealth Distribution, Ellerston Capital, UBS Wealth Management, and Macquarie Bank.
