INCREASING FUNDS
The New Zealand financial markets are small and well-networked. We work to identify, attract and connect the best talent with our clients to enhance a culture of performance. We apply a methodical framework to identify overseas talent, and facilitate their move to New Zealand. Our track record speaks for itself, with the successful placement and relocation of individuals from North America, Europe, Asia and Australia.
The demand for talent is increasing, particularly influenced by the lack of migration to New Zealand. Exceptional local talent tends to be employed and retained, which reduces the associated talent pool available to New Zealand based organisations. The flow-on effect is a shift in power back to talent. High calibre candidates are in a position of having multiple options to choose from, creating upwards pressure on salary expectations. Although remuneration is not the most important factor for all candidates, organisations that cannot be competitive will ultimately struggle to attract the talent they need to grow.
The world of portfolio management is still relatively small, however with more funds under management within KiwiSaver and managed funds, Fund Manager hiring has increased. One of the highest growth areas within these organisations is in the risk and compliance functions, which has seen a steady increase in hiring.
RESPONSIBLE INVESTMENT Another area of notable growth within fund managers, corporates, and advisory/consulting firms is responsible investment and sustainable finance. Investors are becoming increasingly vocal on their expectations, choosing to allocate capital to organisations which have rigorous frameworks in place to ensure ESG. Factors are incorporated into the investment decision making process. Many firms will look toward the awardwinning New Zealand Super Fund for ESG best practice.
