DST International (DSTi) has appointed new client relationship and solution managers to its Sydney office.
Ros Barnsley has joined DSTi as a relationship manager and will interact with some of the software provider’s larger clients who outsource unit registry tasks and use HiTrust, DSTi’s unit registry and fund accounting solution. Barnsley was recruited from PricewaterhouseCoopers, where she was a senior manager with the PowerTax team in Australia. Brian Hamilton has also come on board as a business solutions manager and is in charge of consulting services regarding products for investment management clients, such as front office, performance, risk, and unit registry systems. Hamilton worked in senior roles at QBE and the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority prior to moving across. This can include coordinating projects such as upgrades of and ‘health checks’ of clients’ existing systems. In February, DSTi’s Sydney office also recruited Stephen Goddard as a senior sales executive for financial services, utility and healthcare customers, and Gwilym Box, who transferred from the provider’s Asian Operations office as a business consulting manager, responsible for identifying and acting on business problems experienced by DSTi clients.
Hostplus chief investment officer Sam Sicilia has declared that for as long as he and chief executive David Elia are overseeing the $110 billion fund, there will be no investment internalisation. However, he acknowledges that if the institutional asset manager business model comes too much under pressure, it poses risks and instability to Hostplus’ externalisation model.
