Talaria Asset Management appoints sales head


Former Challenger executive Lance Oliver will take on the newly created role of head of sales at Talaria Asset Management.
He would lead the business development team and assist with growing the Talaria Global Equity fund, which recorded a total return of 11.8% during the 12 months to October.
Prior to joining Talaria, he spent over 13 years in a number of business development roles at Challenger and also worked in distribution roles with Perpetual Asset Management.
His experience also included ownership of an independent private wealth advisory firm.
Talaria CEO, Jamie Mead, noted that Oliver’s experience across funds management and retirement income strategy distribution would be a “huge asset” for the business.
Oliver was also a certified investment management analyst (CIMA) and held a graduate diploma in financial planning from the Securities Institute of Australia.
His appointment followed the hiring of Sam Dowling as Talaria sales director for NSW and Western Australia earlier this year.
