Boutique investment group PM Capital has chosen Rob Thompson as its head of distribution, following its recent distribution agreement regarding Zurich Investment Management's Global Equity Income Fund.
Thompson's role will involve further developing PM Capital's presence directly with financial advisers.
He has 22 years of experience in financial services, mostly recently with Perpetual, where he led distribution to large boutique financial planning firms, private banks and family offices.
Thompson has also held senior roles with Macquarie, Skandia and Portfolio Partners.
"The distribution agreement with Zurich is further testament to the relevance of our funds to the adviser community," PM Capital chief executive Chris Donohoe said.
"We are now working to expand our investor base and the appointment of Rob Thompson is an important step for us on this path."
The group increased the depth of its investment team several years ago and the benefits had manifested through strong performance in challenging times, Donohoe said.
"In the past six months, we have restructured so that staff now own 100 per cent of the business, in addition to being substantial unitholders in the same funds in which our clients invest," he said.
"This means that our interests are always aligned with our investors."
