Fidelity secures successor to lead high conviction fund
Fidelity International has added to its Australian equities team with the appointment of Zara Lyons, taking on lead portfolio manager duties for the Fidelity Australian High Conviction Fund.
Based in Sydney, Lyons will be responsible for the fund, including the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX)-listed exchange traded fund (ETF) and other formats, from 10 June following the departure of current lead portfolio manager, Casey McLean.
Lyons first joined Fidelity in 2017 as an investment analyst primarily working across the Australian healthcare sector and Australian financials. She has also enjoyed previous investment analyst roles at CLSA, Nomura, RBS Equities, JP Morgan Research and ABN AMRO.
“Zara’s many years of investment experience and strong track record in delivering research-driven results make her the right choice to lead this important solution for our clients,” Paul Taylor, Head of Investments, Australia at Fidelity International, said.
“Zara is also a great example of internal talent progression and will play a central role in delivering great client outcomes within our Australian equities product range.
“We thank Casey for his decade of service and wish him all the best for his future endeavours.”
