Burke to head up distribution in UK and Europe

Treasury Group has announced the appointment of Dan Burke as institutional director for UK and Europe.

Burke, who is based in London, will be responsible for expanding Treasury Group's distribution capability as part of an overall strategic investment in distribution that began in 2010.

Treasury Group global head of distribution Rob Sullivan said Burke would help grow the assets of investors who had taken advantage of the company's introduction of the Undertaking for Collective Investments in Transferable Securities platform in 2007.

"As well as building offshore investor networks for our Australian-based fund managers, [Burke] will focus on marketing our Edinburgh-based global growth asset manager, Aubrey Capital Management," Sullivan said.

"We think [Burke's] contacts and experience will prove highly beneficial to our overall marketing strategy and we are very pleased to welcome him to this newly created role," Sullivan added.

Burke has over 10 years of funds management experience. He previously held the role of managing principal and head of distribution at Nucleus Global Investors. Before that, he held distribution roles at Mariner Financial Ltd and Zurich Financial Services.
