Zenith appoints new GM


Zenith Investment Partners has announced the appointment of Bronwen Moncrieff as general manager, while Matt Cho has been promoted to the role of investment consultant.
Both promotions were a direct result of the continued growth in the take-up of Zenith’s managed account and investment consulting services, the firm said.
In her new role, Moncrieff would also take on broader general management responsibility across the different divisions while retaining the head of research role that she held for the past six years.
Moncrieff, who first joined Zenith in 2011 as a senior investment analyst, has more than 23 years of experience in the global investment industry. Prior to Zenith, she held a number of senior research analyst roles with several firms such as the Future Fund, Lonsec and Russell Investments.
Cho joined the company in 2015 as an associate investment analyst and, prior to his promotion, he held research and client-facing roles with a private wealth advisory firm.
Zenith’s managing partner, David Wright said: “We believe Zenith’s competitive advantage in managed accounts is underpinned by the ability to generate unique insights from our own research team.
“This provides the infrastructure to build high-performing lower-risk portfolios, as well as exceptional reporting that’s enjoyed by our adviser clients.”
