Skandia has hired John Gethin-Jones as head of its Intech business.
The appointment follows a restructure of the group when Skandia bough the Intech business in September 2006.
"The acquisition of the Intech business last year reflects our group's commitment to broadening our footprint in the Australian market, in part by building and enhancing our investment and consulting capabilities," Skandia chief executive Ross Laidlaw said.
Gethin-Jones previously worked as a general manger of global equities for the Queensland Investment Corporation (QIC).
"John is an outstanding executive who brings a deep business and investment experience to Skandia and Intech," Laidlaw said.
Intech manages more than $27 billion in assets.
