Josh Wilson, formerly portfolio manager for Australasian equities for eight years with NZ Funds Management, has been appointed to the role.

Clarity said he brought a proven track record in the management of Australasian equity strategies.

Before NZ Funds Management, he was in local and international research and analysis roles.

Clarity is a subsidiary of the $5.4 billion Investment Services Group (ISG), which also includes Devon Funds, JMI Wealth and Select Wealth.

ISG chief executive Richard O’Brien said: “Clarity has experienced significant growth in recent years, and now has approximately $500 million in client funds under management. We felt that now was the right time to bring a senior investment professional into Clarity, to both assume overall responsibility for our existing investment strategies and to focus on our growth opportunities with new strategies. We are delighted to secure a candidate of Josh’s calibre and experience to help us execute on these focus areas”.

He said, given the capacity constraints in the local market, "we believe that the addition of Josh will allow Clarity to be a genuine alternative to the incumbent providers”.
