The specialist asset manager has appointed Jessica Grant as head of business development, Jack Osborn as equity analyst and Farhaana Desai as compliance manager.
"Growing our team is essential, given our plans as we look ahead to 2012 and as we approach the 10th anniversary of our global equity strategy," BAM chief executive and portfolio manager Ned Bell said.
"We will continue in our commitment to the local market and focus on growing our business, whilst we add to our already strong team.
Ms Grant joined BAM having previously held a business development role with Macquarie Group. She has seven years' experience in the financial planning sector.
Mr Osborn previously worked at Macquarie Private Wealth and holds a Bachelor of Commerce (Finance and Accounting major) from the University of Melbourne and a Graduate Diploma of Applied Finance.
