Fund manager Tyndall Asset Management (Tyndall AM) has appointed Matt Russell as head of institutional business.
Russell joins Tyndall from Colonial First State Global Asset Management (CFSGAM), where he was head of institutional business development and consultant relationships.
He also has held senior positions at Perpetual and Intech.
"Matt has spent his entire career as a financial services professional, so brings a great deal of understanding and knowledge to Tyndall," Tyndall AM managing director Craig Hobart said.
Russell's appointment is the last in a series of appointments since the firm became part of Nikko Asset Management.
"We now have our senior management team in place, reflecting our position of an independent Australian fund manager backed by a strong regional entity in Nikko AM," Hobart said.
"We offer a proven product range, and our stable and well-established asset management teams are now supported by senior business development professionals who know the industry well, what client needs are, and how they are to be satisfied.
"These professionals have access to innovative client support techniques and systems, and Tyndall is now positioned for growth."
