Franklin Templeton appoints insto head

Franklin Templeton has appointed a new insto sales chief, as Adam Quaife moves to the firm's Dubai office.

Franklin Templeton Investments Australia has appointed Keri Pratt as head of institutional sales for Australia and New Zealand. 

Pratt replaces Adam Quaife, who has been promoted to Franklin Templeton senior director for Central and Eastern Europe and the Middle East.

Quaife, who helped establish Franklin Templeton's Sydney office in 2004, will be moving to Dubai in August.

Pratt has worked with the local institutional sales team over the past six months as a consultant.

 
 

She previously worked at GMO Australia, where she was head of institutional and head of client services and marketing.

Pratt will report to Franklin Templeton Australia managing director Maria Wilton.

"Keri is well known in the Australian superannuation and institutional investment industry and has a strong track record in sales and relationship management," Wilton said.

The changes were the result of a global restructuring of management roles at the investment manager.

Andrew Ashton was promoted to head of the international consultant and research group, and he will oversee asset consultant relations and investment research for the firm's international advisory services division.

Ashton previously held the role that Quaife will now fulfil in Dubai.
