Matt Hanchet is returning to Generate after a stint at Mint Asset Management and will take on the role of Investment Distribution Manager.

Hanchet led adviser engagement and helped shape distribution strategy, product positioning, and media relationships at Mint. He worked closely with the investment team to align messaging with Mint’s investment process and played a key role in lifting their market presence.

Before the role at Mint, Hanchet spent five years at Generate where he started in customer relationship management before heading to distribution and becoming business development manager.

Hanchet says, "I'm excited to take on the role of Investment Distribution Manager. It's a significant opportunity to help advisers across New Zealand fully leverage Generate's excellent range of managed funds.”

Generate head of distribution Kristian James says, “Matt’s leadership and skills were highly valued during his previous tenure with Generate. Now we’re excited to have him back in this key distribution role.”

Generate KiwiSaver Scheme has more than 165,000 members with around $7 billion of funds under management.

Hanchet’s new role will be key to increasing the rollout of managed funds within Generate’s third-party adviser network.
