The wealth manager said Ms Morgan will be responsible for sales across its funds through dealer groups and financial planners.
“[Ms Morgan] has considerable experience in institutional and retail sales, plus investment operations,” a statement from Pengana said.
“[Her] most recent role was as state manager [for Victoria and Tasmania] at Advance Asset Management and prior to this she had worked at Perennial Investment Partners and IOOF Investment Management."
Pengana Capital has also appointed Anthony Huston as an executive director, based in Singapore.
“[Mr Huston’s] primary responsibility will be to develop and grow Pengana’s institutional business outside of Australia,” the statement said.
