Equitable wishes Rasmussen well and says he has been a valuable member of the team.

It has taken this opportunity to consider the best way to deliver financial advisor and business development support under an environment which is continuing to change with the introduction of Financial Advisor Regulation and Non Bank Deposit Taking Legislation.

"Our commitment to financial advisors is to ensure you receive professional and knowledgeable support from Equitable, while continuing to deliver on our primary goal to investors of ensuring all our investors are paid on time and in full."

Equitable says with these goals in mind it is pleased to confirm that with effect Monday 12 July, Robin Simpson, business development manager and Nikki Stott-Holtham, investments executive will manage this function on a national basis.

Simpson has been with Equitable as a business development manager in the South Island since January 2008. He has considerable previous financial services and investment experience through 10 years in the equity markets in London and New York.

He also has an MA (Hons) in Psychology from the University of St Andrews, a Graduate Diploma in Property Management from Lincoln University and is a member of the IFA.

Stott-Holtham has worked for Equitable since 1996. She has an extensive understanding of advisor business and works closely with both advisors and clients.

"South Island advisors will know Robin and Nikki well, for those who have not yet had the opportunity to get to know them they will be in contact in due course."
