Leo Barry, a former small and mid-cap broker with Merrill Lynch’s institutional equity team, has been named in the role and will commence with Fairview in February.
“We’re delighted to have Leo join our growing business. We’ve worked closely with him over a number of years and we’ve been extremely impressed with his deep understanding of a broad range of stocks and sectors,” said Fairview executive director Michael Glenane.
“Given his recognised expertise in the small to mid-cap market, which continues to expand, we’re sure his appointment will further support our core investment process and maintain our successful long-term investment record and competitive edge.”
Mr Barry is “recognised as a leading broker within the finance industry”, the statement from NAB AM added.
