Margin lender, Leveraged, has recently appointed Keith Hilsdon, as their new national Head of Sales. Hilsdon has been with the business for 8 years, commencing as State Manager QLD, progressing to Regional Manager, Northern and then Head of Distribution – Financial Planning during this time.
The move comes as part of a broader Leveraged initiative to provide Business Development Managers across the country with more decision making authority at a regional level to better understand and meet partner and adviser needs.
Hilsdon said “Our unique market based team distribution model now provides us with engagement depth and the flexibility to be more responsive in meeting the needs of our partners and advisers.
“The new business model lays the foundation to assist more Australians in reaching their financial goals through Leveraged’s enhanced product offerings and the award winning support we have always provided to the advice industry. That doesn’t change”.
One of Leveraged’s key industry commitments is the ongoing education of advisers and their clients around relevant gearing strategies and solutions.
“Our key focus is to educate advisers and their clients around appropriate gearing strategies that are applicable to their situation and their financial goals – whether it’s saving and investing for that initial house deposit, funding children’s education, building a retirement portfolio outside of superannuation or investment hedging to pay that mortgage off – it’s all relevant in making that investment dollar work harder” Hilsdon said.
“We are further committed to continuing to provide regular multi-media productions, webinars, contemporary articles, trading notes and presentations across the industry and continuing to share the technical and research excellence and experience of our in-house business leaders”, concluded Mr Hilsdon.
