Challenger Financial Services’ head of distribution, David Asplin, has abruptly left the firm.
Asplin resigned suddenly last week after what is understood to have been a human resources-related issue. His responsibilities have been assumed by the head of institutional distribution, Matt Gaden, with immediate effect. A Challenger spokesperson said a replacement for Gaden’s wholesale role would be sought. Asplin had been at Challenger nearly four years, after following Chris Cuffe to the firm from Colonial First State in 2003.

While the idea has some merits, overall it is not necessary and could increase system risk.
