Aberdeen Standard Investments (ASI) has appointed Jason Nyilas as its Australian head of retirement and product strategy as it seeks to become a leading provider of Australian retirement solutions.
He joined from EY where he most recently developed the retirement framework for the Employees’ Provident Fund in Malaysia. Prior to this, he was a wealth management executive at EY in Australia.
Brett Jollie, Australia managing director for ASI, said Nyilas’ role would involve engaging with the Australian market on their retirement needs as ASI tries to grow its presence.
“Mr Nyilas’ primary role will be to engage the market on retirement income needs and ultimately help provide retirement solutions for ASI clients. We are keen to talk with, and listen to local investors, government and regulators on how we can best meet Australia’s growing demand for sustainable retirement solutions.
“His knowledge and enthusiasm, coupled with our group’s UK pensions heritage, global investment capabilities and digital innovation, give us a unique suite of resources and insight to help tailor outcomes for industry, wholesale and individual retirement needs.”
