Shepherd said the addition of Mark to the firm will bring a positive boost to CFM’s Australian efforts.

“The investor relations role is a crucial position as we continue to build our presence on the ground in Australia. Happily, we have found the perfect fit in Mark, who has a detailed understanding of alternative beta strategies and their benefits,” he said.

Shepherd said the opening of the new office, and the appointment of Yetman were the next developments in CFM’s continued commitment to Australian investors.

“The portfolio diversification benefits of alternative beta strategies can’t be underestimated, particularly in volatile times, and I’m pleased that we can offer them to more investors,” he said.
