Apostle FM appoints head of distribution

Apostle Funds Management has announced the appointment of Kimon Kouryialas to the newly created role of director, head of global distribution, commencing early October.
In his new role, Kouryialas will lead Apostle’s global distribution strategy and will be responsible for supporting the delivery of Apostle’s ethical solutions as well as its offerings from partnerships with external managers.
He joined the firm from Martin Currie where he served as co-head of global distribution and was responsible for sales and client-services activity across Australia, Asia and Middle East.
Prior to this, he was managing director and head of distribution at Legg Mason Asset Management, where he led its business strategy for Australia.
The firm also said Kouryialas is an experienced financial services professional having held roles across global financial institutions such as Citigroup, JP Morgan Asset Management, State Street Australia and Barclays Bank.
Apostle’s Managing Director Karyn West said that Kouryialas’ experience would play a key role in delivering the firm’s strategies across Asia and the Middle East as the firm continued to expand its offering for institutional investors across these markets.
“We are thrilled to have Kimon on board to lead our global distribution strategy. Kimon has a valued reputation within industry and a demonstrated track record of building successful fund management businesses over his twenty-five-year career in finance,” West said.
“He understands the needs of investors, knows how to communicate effectively and is a problem solver – all qualities that make him an excellent fit to help lead our next phase of growth.”
