As Nikko Asset Management Australia continues to build its distribution network and bring new strategies to market, the company announced today that it has hired Lia Gunawan and Simon Green as Regional Sales Managers for New South Wales and Queensland.

Ms Gunawan joins the company from the Australian Red Cross where she held the role of National Business Partnerships Manager. She has also held business development roles with not-for-profit performing arts organisation Musica Viva Australia as well as with financial services companies Legg Mason Global Asset Management, ABN AMRO Bank, BT Financial and Norwich Union Australia.

Mr Green most recently worked at Pengana Capital as a Business Development Analyst. He also worked for several years in London within Legal & General’s investment management research unit and prior to that he worked in client services for Assure New Zealand.

“These appointments highlight Nikko Asset Management’s commitment to better understand and to comprehensively service the needs of independent financial advisers and the private wealth market,” said Sam Hallinan, Managing Director of Nikko Asset Management Australia. “The addition of Lia and Simon to the team will further strengthen our relationships in New South Wales and Queensland as we work with our clients on investment solutions and building robust portfolios.”

The new appointments follow recent recruits Eddy Schipper, Rob Bluzmanis and Naomi Finnigan to Nikko Asset Management Australia’s distribution team.
