Northern Trust Capital Markets has appointed Ben Brownette as a research analyst for its Sydney office.
Brownette joins from the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, where he worked in the institutional equities sector.
The appointment marks the first in the region since the acquisition of Aviate Global in May this year.
Madeleine Senior, head of Northern Trust in Australia and New Zealand, commented: “Asia-Pacific is Northern Trust’s fastest growing region and the Australian business is one of the key drivers of that growth.”
She added: “Through the extension of our capital markets capabilities in our Sydney office, we are well positioned to support our clients in the region with market leading insights and solutions on the ground.”
