UBS Asset Management has named a new country head for Australia and New Zealand.
Alison Telfer has been named to the role, according to a report by the Australian Financial Review.
She has 20 years of asset management experience, most recently with Blackrock where she was its chief operating officer, general counsel, and head of public policy for Australasia.
Telfer’s strategic mindset coupled with her extensive Asia Pacific asset management experience will be valuable in helping her position UBS Asset Management for the future, said UBS Australasia joint-country head Nick Hughes.
