Mr Pesutto will report to chief operating officer Sam Cole and will be responsible for the marketing and communications of the fund manager and its investment partners OC, Ralton, Vertium and Chester.
Mr Pesutto has over 22 years of experience in the industry and was previously head of Zenith’s marketing and communications and Legg Mason’s before that.
Mr Cole welcome Mr Pesutto to the team and said he looked forward to growing the company together.
“We’re delighted to have someone of Anthony’s calibre join our team. Anthony will help build Copia’s profile and distribution footprint to Australian financial planners as we embark on our next phase of growth.”
Copia has a distinct role in the adviser industry said Mr Cole and part of the role of Mr Pesutto would be to articulate the managers’ capabilities.
“With our suite of investment partners represented on most major platforms, it is important we can clearly articulate Copia’s capabilities to financial advisers in innovative and exciting ways, particularly as we seek to build our distribution resources and fund manager partnership model.”
