Bank of Ireland Asset Management (BIAM) has appointed Brett Elvish as head of client services and sales in Australia.
Elvish joins from Intech Investment Consultants where he was an executive director.
He has over 20 years' investment industry experience, with a background in investment consulting, investment management, investment operations and business management.
In June, BIAM announced it had signed a deal with parent company Bank of Ireland and global private equity firm Paul Capital Partners to roll out products to Australian institutional investors.
The new joint venture is called Paul Capital Top Tier Investments and was established after a turbulent two years for BIAM, during which it lost about $315 million in institutional mandates as well as six members of its investment team to Perpetual.
BIAM Australia is a member of the Bank of Ireland Group and has been operating in Australia since 1996.
