Futuregrowth expands team of credit analysts

The fixed interest team at Futuregrowth Asset Management has taken on two new credit analysts.

Credit analyst Paul Semple, who has eight years credit experience and was formerly at First National Bank, will focus primarily on the unlisted debt market.

Gerald Gondo, who also joined the Fixed Interest team as a credit analyst in October, previously worked as a portfolio manager at Business Partners, and will analyse both unlisted debt and developmental equity for Futuregrowth.

Andrew Canter, head of Fixed Interest and a director of Futuregrowth Asset Management, said that fundamental credit analysis plays a key role in asset management. "These appointments reflect the growth of Futuregrowth’s fixed interest capabilities,” he said.
