We have announced four new appointments to our ranks, including three Consultants working directly with our growing client base.
Daniel Manser will join our client consulting team working with investors across all of our client segments. Daniel joins Frontier from Aviva, based in the United Kingdom, where he was leading and implementing investment strategy reviews of various flagship portfolios and undertaking manager research.
Tom Bernard will have both client consulting and research responsibilities as he takes up a role as a member of our specialist Defensives and Alternatives research team, under Iain McMahon.
Tom will join Frontier following a five-year stint in an investment consulting role at Zenith Investment Partners where he had exposure across Fixed Income, Alternatives and Private Markets.
Frontier’s Investment Governance Team will also gain a boost from the appointment of Ida How who will bring a strong legal and compliance background to Sarah Cornelius’ growing specialist team. Ida was previously working with Cooper Investors contributing to the development and implementation of governance, risk and compliance frameworks.
Finally, Kiryll Prakapenka will join our Associate ranks with a client consulting focus. He joins from independent financial publisher, Fat Tail Investment Research, where he held the role of Financial Analyst. Prior to that posting, Kiryll was a finance research writer with The Motley Fool.
Our Director of Consulting, Kim Bowater, is excited with the boost to client consulting team depth and expertise these appointments bring.
“It’s exciting to be able to add four new faces to our growing team, each with quite different skill sets and backgrounds but all with a common link around naturally inquisitive mindsets and an interest in supporting and working with clients,” said Kim.
“Our client numbers continue to grow steadily and bringing in additional, capable support to help our established Senior and Principal Consulting ranks prepare and deliver quality advice and service, will be beneficial for both our clients and our consulting team more broadly.
“We look forward to helping our new team members further develop their experience and expertise and watching them work their way into more senior roles within the firm in the future,” said Kim.
Our latest recruits bring the number of new hires we have made in 2024 to ten and rounds out a recruitment program that was designed in late 2023.
