Rebranded Lonsec parent announces exec restructure

The newly created Evidentia Group, the product of Generation Development Group’s acquisition and merger of Evidentia with Lonsec Investment Solutions and Implemented Portfolios, has restructured its executive leadership team.

The appointments mark the group’s formal unveiling to market, following the announcement earlier this year that its businesses were to be “strategically realigned” and former Lonsec Group chief executive, Mike Wright, was to be appointed as CEO of the newly formed group.

The group said in a statement that the appointments signal its commitment to the next phase of growth in its managed accounts capabilities and service delivery for advisers.

“We are thrilled to appoint this exceptional team of leaders into new roles as we begin the next iteration of our collective journey to redefine and elevate excellence in managed accounts,” CEO of Evidentia Group, Mike Wright, said.

“Their expertise and shared vision will be instrumental in building the next phase of Evidentia Group, bringing two managed account leaders together to drive a resilient, customer-focused, and future-ready institution.”
