J.P. Morgan Asset Management ( JPMAM ) has appointed Naomi Finnigan as a high-net-worth ( HNW ) client adviser for Australia to support the growth momentum the firm is seeing in the HNW channel.

Her role includes working closely with private banks and family offices to understand their needs and provide bespoke investment solutions. Based in Melbourne, Finnigan will report to Mark Carlile, head of wholesale, Australia and New Zealand.

Finnigan has over two decades of experience in the financial services industry, with proven success across a variety of strategies and solutions, including domestic and international equities, fixed income, and alternative investments.
