Changes at the top for Fishers

Fisher Funds has announced two changes to its executive team.

Nilesh Mistry has resigned from his role as Chief Client Officer (CCO) and will be leaving Fisher Funds on 19 June. Jonathan Symons, current GM of Marketing, will act as Chief Client Officer while the firm undertakes a search for a permanent CCO.

"Mistry has been with us for six years and has made a significant contribution to our business and culture. He started as Chief Operating Officer and played a key role in leading the integration of KiwiWealth and Fisher Funds before taking on his current role," said CEO Simon Power.

Ashley Gardyne is moving from his current role as Chief Investment Officer (CIO) to the new role of Head of Global Equities.

"Gardyne has made a meaningful contribution to our business in the last 13 years. He has agreed to stay in his current role while we recruit for a new Chief Investment Officer," said Power.

The changes come after David Boyle resigned as General Manager KiwiSaver to take up the role of Retirement Commissioner.
