Talaria Capital has continued its streak of new appointments in its business development division, with Lance Oliver taking on the newly created role of Head of Sales.

Melbourne-based Oliver brings over 13 years of business development experience at Challenger to the role, having also spent time leading its national distribution team, in distribution roles at Perpetual Asset Management and heading his own independent private wealth advisory firm.

Oliver will be responsible for supporting the growth of the Talaria Global Equity Fund by boosting the business development team, as the fund looks to continue its strong performance after returning 11.8 per cent in the 12 months to October and outperforming the MSCI World ex Aust benchmark.

“With over two decades of experience spanning funds management and retirement income strategy distribution, Lance will be a huge asset to the Talaria team,” Talaria chief executive, Jamie Mead, said.

“We have created significant growth across a broad range of investors over the last year, highlighting the value of our unique and alternative approach to global equity investing at a time when it is most needed.”

Oliver’s appointment follows the hiring of Sam Dowling as Sales Director for New South Wales and Western Australia earlier this year.
