Colonial First State Global Asset Management appoints a new head of investment markets research following Hans Kunnen's retirement.

Colonial First State Global Asset Management has a new spokesperson with the appointment of Stephen Halmarick as the head of investment markets research.

Before his appointment, Halmarick was the managing director and co-head of Citigroup's economic and market analysis department for Australia and New Zealand.

His position at Colonial First State Asset Management will entail being the key spokesperson to media and clients on economic and broader financial issues.

"As financial markets continue to be challenging, Stephen's expert advice and depth of experience make him a very valuable addition to our team," Colonial First State Global Asset Management chief investment officer David Dixon said.

Halmarick replaces Hans Kunnen who retired last year after more than 10 years in this position and a 35-year career in financial services.
