Fidelity International has moved to strengthen its global equities capabilities and offering for Australian clients with the appointment of Rosie Malcolm as a portfolio manager based in Sydney.

Malcolm will take on responsibility for two of Fidelity’s “key” solutions held within its suite of Australian domiciled products, the Global Equities Fund and Hedged Global Equities Fund.

She boasts a wealth of experience spanning portfolio management, fundamental research and valuation from her more than 20-year career, including time spent at Magellan Asset Management as a portfolio manager, Head of Franchises and member of both the Investment and Macro Committees, as well as Goldman Sachs in Sydney and New York covering valuation, strategy, capital markets and company analysis.

In her most recent role at Australian Foundation Investment Company, she built its global equities strategy from the ground up, developing the investment process and spearheading the capability to provide a “diversified, long-term, low-turnover portfolio focused on high-quality businesses”.

Simon Glazier, Managing Director, Australia at Fidelity International, noted Malcolm’s appointment indicates the firm’s commitment to delivering tailored active global equity strategies underpinned by strong investment expertise.

“Rosie is a highly experienced global equities investor with a strong track record of building disciplined, high-quality portfolios,” he said.

“Her deep expertise, combined with her experience in establishing and leading global equities strategies, makes her an excellent addition to our team.

“Rosie’s appointment reflects our continued commitment to strengthening our investment capabilities in Australia and delivering high-quality outcomes for our clients.

“We are particularly excited about her leadership of the Fidelity Global Equities Fund and the opportunity to further grow and evolve our offering in the local market.”
