Starting on Thursday, Murray Brewer will take on the role, moving to the investment company from T. Rowe Price where he worked as director, country head of distribution, Australia and New Zealand.
Prior to that, Mr Brewer was director and head of distribution at Schroders Australia and also previously held roles in Westpac, AMP and Lloyds Bank.
Mr Brewer will be based in Sydney and report to Capital’s head of client group for Europe and Asia, Guy Henriques.
“Murray has an outstanding track record in identifying and developing products and services that give Australians the best investment and savings outcomes over the long term,” Mr Henriques said.
“We are truly delighted to welcome him on board during Capital Group’s 90th year of successful, active investing for clients.
“His vision and passion will be invaluable in leading the team, as we help our clients ride the wake of global economic recovery, post-pandemic.”
Mr Brewer added: “I have admired Capital Group’s long-term approach for some time, from the multi-decade, repeatable investing success of the firm’s capital system investment approach to the company culture where the focus is firmly on the client.
“Our partnership structure also allows the business to have a long-term perspective to invest significantly in people, technology and infrastructure that can benefit client outcomes.
“To benefit from the long-term investment shifts that are taking place all over the world, Australian investors need to be looking at firms like Capital Group, which have deep insight and truly global investment capabilities that are set up to deliver to clients and I’m excited to be part of that.”
