Gavin Truong, formerly from Lendlease will be based in Sydney in the newly created role of investment analyst.
Quay Global Investors principal Chris Bedingfield said the appointment was important to help the company manage its strong growth.
“Mr Truong’s financial services experiences, including real estate funds management and as an equity research analyst, make him a good fit for the role and the team at this crucial point in the business’s evolution.
“Next year will mark the strategy’s five-year track record, and adviser interest in the strategy – which has exceeded its performance expectations for every time frame since inception in July 2014 – is gaining momentum,” he said.
The real estate fund is now available through multiple platforms, most recently BT Panorama and BT Wrap and Mr Truong will be involved in managing the funds returns.
