Fidelity International appoints investment director

A global and US equity strategies portfolio specialist from T. Rowe Price moves to Fidelity International to help grow the fund's fundamental equities franchise in Australia.

Tamzin Manning will be working closely with portfolio managers, clients and distribution partners to strengthen Fidelity's Australian and global equities capabilities.

She joins Fidelity from T. Rowe Price, where she was vice president and senior portfolio specialist. Previously, she was a director and client portfolio manager at Epoch Investment Partners, where she was responsible for several global equity strategies.

Manning has also held senior equity sales and research roles at RBC Capital Markets, Liberum Capital and KBC Peel Hunt earlier in her career.

"Her combination of investment expertise, commercial insight and client-facing experience makes her an excellent addition to the team," said Simon Glazier, managing director, Australia, at Fidelity International.

"Australia remains a strategically important market for Fidelity, and we remain committed to investing in our people and capabilities locally. Tamzin's appointment strengthens our equities franchise and enhances our ability to support clients with high-quality investment expertise and insights."
