(6 May 2010 – Australia) ING Investment Management has boosted its Australian wholesale capabilities with the appointment of former Goldman Sachs JBWere banker Jim McKay to run its wholesale business, as its hunt for “key staff” to support growth starts to pay dividends.A 20 year veteran, McKay joins INGIM from his own private wealth management firm after time at Genesys Wealth Advisers and GSJBW, where he headed the bank’s retail funds management and group product management divisions.
The move follows INGIM’s announcement last week to expand its investment manufacturing and distribution in Australia to extend its suite of investment products to financial advisers via dealer groups and the wholesale platform market.
