Towers Watson has made three new appointments to its Australian investment team, which it says will add value to its portfolio construction, manager research and client consulting teams.
Jordan Taylor will be responsible for providing support to the strategy and client consulting teams. His most recent role was with Finzsoft as a research analyst in the financial services section.
Deepti Tammareddi comes to Towers Watson from the graduate program at AMP Financial Services, and will have a varied role within the central analytics team.
Andrew Tay will also join the central analytics team. He most recently worked at PricewaterhouseCoopers in Hong Kong as an associate, before returning to Australia.
Director of investment services, Graeme Miller, said the appointments represent Towers Watson’s commitment to building its Australian team.
These appointments follow four other recruits to the Australian team earlier in the year, and the appointment of over 50 associates in the global business throughout the year.
