“Steven’s significant investment and manager research experience will play a critical role around the identification and execution of new boutique partnerships that can consistently exceed client objectives as well as working with our existing investment boutique partners to further enhance our funds management capabilities.”
Carew said: “I am excited to join Warakirri, an organization I have interacted with for many years, as it has not only continued to grow and diversify its business but remained focused on delivering superior outcomes for its clients”.
