LGT Crestone hires from Westpac

Jennifer Griffiths is starting a new position as an investment adviser at LGT Crestone Wealth Management.

She arrives from Westpac where she worked as an investment director for almost five years.

Before that, she was a senior portfolio manager at BT Financial Group and a vice president of equities sales and trading at RBC Capital Markets.

Griffiths has held similar roles at Citi, UBS and JP Morgan.

She will join former colleague Brooke Kennewell who joined LGT Crestone from Westpac a year ago.

Reporting to Ken Lee, regional manager, of advisory performance at LGT Crestone, Griffiths will join a team of three other advisers.

She will work with ultra-high-net-worth and high-net-worth individuals and family offices.

LGT Crestone has had four new hires since March - two investment advisers and two associates.

Lee said: "We're pleased to welcome Jennifer as an Investment Adviser to the LGT Crestone team. Our proposition is clearly resonating with wealthy Australians and we're pleased to be attracting the very best talent in the market to service this demand."
