PIMCO appoints VP, account manager, as they look to retain retirees
PIMCO Australia (PIMCO) has announced the appointment of Sara Higgins as the new vice president, account manager, at a time when the fund manager is looking to retain members.
Higgins will work closely with head of PIMCO John Wilson in Sydney, who said her appointment signals the company's increased commitment to the Australian superannuation market.
"Sara has joined us at a critical juncture in the development of the Australian superannuation industry," Wilson said.
"More and more, our institutional super fund clients are focused on measures to retain retiree members in the fund, and, as part of this, they are looking to develop competitive retirement income solutions."
Wilson said PIMCO will be hosting a series of retirement income forums to discuss how innovative retirement solutions might be developed.
Higgins has seven years of investment and financial services experience, having worked most recently at Perpetual Investment's private wealth division, providing specialist counsel to high net worth clients. She also worked as a strategy analyst with Perpetual's executive office team and board, and in the investment banking division of JP Morgan Bank & Co in the United States.
