Philip Houghton-Brown joins Mercer as leader, investments, New Zealand after holding the position of chief investment officer at OnePath from 2006.

His appointment is one of a number of additions to the Investments team, with Russell Garrett appointed as team leader and Wellington-based Kelvin Sefton appointed as a new investment consultant after six years with Ernst & Young in its Tax Advisory and Transfer Pricing business sections.

There are now 10 consultants in the Investment team in New Zealand with plans to recruit a graduate to start in 2013.

Houghton-Brown said he was looking forward to undertaking this new challenge and leading Mercer’s Investment business into a strong period of market development. 

“This is an exciting time to join a dynamic firm like Mercer as we guide investors who have been shaken by recent market volatility and are looking to manage their risk profile,” he said.
