Alternative investment manager Brookvine has appointed its part-time advisor Jack Gray as a director of the board.
Gray joined Brookvine in April 2008 to provide the firm with advice on choosing alternative investment managers.
"Jack has been a real asset to Brookvine over the past year, and we are delighted to welcome him on our board," Brookvine managing director Steven Hall said.
The appointment follows the addition of three people to its team including Kristen Westwood as senior consultant, Tim Peters as senior analyst and Jeanne-Marie Dorner as marketing co-ordinator.
Westwood previously worked at ipac while Peters' previous job was with the Australian Venture Capital Association.
"It's really nice to grow in this climate. Although it has been a tough environment we have been looking to secure our growth since we began three years ago," Hall said.
The manager has been able to raise $7 billion on behalf of its stable of fund mangers including Prisma Capital Partners, CHAMP Private Equity, PEP Pacific Equity Partners and Charter Hall.
Brookvine will be looking to introduce more investment strategies to the local market including water-based funds and insurance and re-insurance strategies.
