Ibbotson Associates has added an implemented investment consultant.

Ibbotson Associates Australia has appointed James Foot as an investment consultant reporting to head of investment advisory Chris Galloway.

Foot joins from financial planning firm Centric Wealth, where he was head of portfolio construction and asset allocation.

He spent more than 11 years at Centric Wealth, holding various roles across the group including head of managed funds research and investment research analyst.

At Ibbotson, he will be responsible for supporting the delivery of the firm's implemented investment consulting capability and provide investment analysis and advisory services to retail and institutional clients.
