Fidelity Investments has lost two senior staff members with the departure of Charles Wall, Australian investment director, and the group’s director of sales and marketing, Jenny Josling, following a restructure late last year.
As part of the restructure, the role of investment director has been made redundant and Josling’s previous role has been split in two. Megan Unsworth has been internally promoted to head of intermediary sales, with an appointment for head of institutional sales to be announced shortly. Michael Ohlsson, who was appointed as Fidelity’s managing director last year said the changes were consistent with the Fidelity model around the world. Wall joined Fidelity in May 2002 from NRMA Asset Management, now IAG Asset Management. He took over from Michael Gordon who was promoted to Fidelity Asia Pacific chief investment officer. Gordon is now based in London.
Australian super funds’ collaboration with their British counterparts to change the UK policy setting is an engagement effort the first of its kind. However, as the global pension industry and financial markets become increasingly entwined, it certainly won’t be the last. IFM Investors’ David Whiteley outlines its global engagement ambitions on behalf of super funds.
