SG Hiscock expands distribution team

SG Hiscock & Company has made a number of new appointments across its distribution team, which includes the addition of Serena Govender as its new business development manager and an appointment of Brent Tuckerman as senior marketing manager.

Govender will be responsible for building and maintaining relationships with financial advisers and key accounts for the abrdn suite of funds across Victoria/Western Australia/South Australia. Previously, she worked at The Market Herald in strategic business development, and as a business development associate for wholesale investor.

Tuckerman has joined from Aware Super, and has held various marketing positions for CSF, Anne Street Partners Financial Services and Allianz UK.

These appointments followed other recent hires, including Denitsa Stoeva in the role of marketing manager, and Georgina Lymperis as senior product manager.

The appointments also follow the successful recent transition of abrdn employees into the SGH business structure. These include:

• Shawn Lee, portfolio manager
• Philip Li, assistant portfolio manager
• Igor Kolevski, senior business development manager
• Daniel Shelest, research and consultant relations manager
• Jessica Dalziell, senior client associate
• Jordan Burnt, client associate
• Arooj Younas, marketing and events manager

“We are experiencing strong investor demand and want to continue to meet those demands through the expansion of our service offering to existing and prospective clients,” Anthony Cochran, SGH head of distribution, said.

“In order to provide the highest level of client service, we recognise that we need a strong and competent team, and these appointments are designed to boost our distribution capabilities,” he said.
