Tania Smyth has joined BetaShares and will support financial planners looking to use ETFs in client portfolios.
Prior to joining BetaShares, Ms Smyth was CBA’s director of equity product sales.
“This newly created role has been designed both in response to the fast growth of the ETF industry and to deepen the company’s commitment to support Australian financial advisers through ETF education and client service,” BetaShares managing director Alex Vynokur said.
Ms Smyth has also held senior equity derivative distribution roles with the Royal Bank of Scotland and ABN Amro to intermediaries and institutional clients.
BetaShares’ latest appointment follows a raft of staff movements, including the recent appointment of Thomas Reif as head of quantitative research and portfolio manager.
The exchange-traded fund provider also recently appointed Matthew Reeves as compliance manager, Sarah Hare as marketing manager and David Whitby as account manager, as well as promoting Louis Crous to the position of chief investment officer.
