Implemented Portfolios has announced that Mr Seccombe – who has been an IP board member since June – will take up a senior role with a distribution focus.
Mr Seccombe – who was instrumental in the Australian launch of BlackRock’s iShares business in 2007 – said that IP’s commitment to “four pillars” of future growth in the financial services industry underlies his attraction to the business, listing them as “individually-managed accounts, asset allocation focus, market exposure held via ETFs, and scalable technology”.
In a statement to ifa, Mr Seccombe said his new employer has the “ability to be one of the more effective challengers to the traditional platform/managed funds models that [he has] seen”.
