BT Investment Management (BTIM) has boosted its sales and marketing team with the appointments of Dale Pereira and Scott Thomas.
Pereira joins as a portfolio specialist and will work closely with the Australian Securities Exchange-listed fund manager's macro and income strategies boutiques.
"In this role he will have responsibility for analysing and articulating the boutiques' investment capabilities to support BTIM clients, our sales force and key research intermediaries," BTIM head of sales and marketing Martin Franc said.
Pereira has worked in the industry for 14 years, most recently with BT Financial Group as senior manager of strategic development.
Thomas joins as an account manager, with responsibility for managing relationships with BTIM's key financial planning dealer group and platform clients in New South Wales and Western Australia.
He has eight years' account management experience in the funds management and insurance industries. He was most recently with Pinnacle Investment Management as a business development manager.
"We're very pleased to welcome Dale and Scott to the team. Their strong industry experience and complementary skill sets will help us continue to strengthen our relationships with dealer groups, advisers and the fund research community," Franc said.
BTIM had $34.8 billion in funds under management as at June.
The fund manager in July agreed to purchase J O Hambro Capital Management for $314 million. The acquisition is expected to be completed in October.
