We are pleased to announce the appointment of Lucy Minichiello, who joins the Frontier team as Head of Real Assets.
Lucy joins Frontier having carved out an extensive twenty-year career in the infrastructure sector, supported by an impressive academic background. She will lead and further develop our well regarded real asset capability and dedicated team of eight infrastructure and property specialists, including highly experienced global property expert Jennifer Johnstone-Kaiser.
Lucy spent close to six years with Westbourne Capital, an investment manager focussed on investing institutional client capital in infrastructure investments across the globe. As Director, Portfolio Management, she was responsible for portfolio management, client reporting, client relationships and asset management. Prior to Westbourne, Lucy held positions at PricewaterhouseCoopers, Challenger Infrastructure Fund, Goldman Sachs and Citigroup in a range of roles covering mergers & acquisitions, equity and debt capital markets strategy and funds management across a broad range of infrastructure sectors.
Our Director of Research and Specialist Services, Paul Newfield, is extremely pleased Lucy is joining the Frontier team. “Frontier has an enviable reputation in the real assets space established from a long period of advising clients in a sector which has driven strong performance over the long term. Lucy’s extensive experience, particularly in portfolio management, will complement a well-regarded team that already has considerable depth and talent,” said Paul.
“As a bonus, Lucy is multi-lingual including Japanese language skills, which will be useful for our Japanese business and our ongoing efforts there where there is a strong interest from local asset owners around investing in real assets.”
Frontier has been at the forefront of advising Australian institutional investors on infrastructure and other unlisted assets as far back as the 1990s. Real assets have been a cornerstone of the portfolios of many Frontier clients since that time with strong long-term performance across the client base influenced by that advice.
Lucy will be based in our Melbourne office.
