Tim Hewson’s Summary

I joined Rabobank in February 2006 as Director, Structures and Investments and as part of their Global Financial Markets business. Primarily focused on originations, structuring and sales, I worked extensively in the structured credit, interest rate and fund derivatives markets as well as commodity-linked investments.

I am now part of Rabobank’s RaboPlus team and my primary responsibility is focused on the selection, management and monitoring of the RaboPlus Investment Menu for Australia and NZ.

I am a Responsible Manager and charged with ensuring that RaboPlus continues to meet ASIC IDPS Licensing requirements. I am also a member of the RaboPlus Investment Committee for both Australia and NZ and developed the Charter and Investment Guidelines for both countries.

Prior to joining Rabobank, I spent more than four years in the wealth management working for a specialist boutique investment firm (Absolute Capital Limited) focused on structured credit investments, alternative investment strategies and structured product development. At Absolute, I was Head of Product, responsible for key account management, Marketing, PR, Advertising and Investor Relations. I established and was a member of their Product Review Committee and was instrumental in the development and launch of various products into the Australian and NZ markets.

Prior to Absolute, I spent more than five years working in the Financial Markets at CBA and was predominantly focused on credit & interest rate markets and was responsible development & implementation of investment and risk management strategies for corporates and institutions as well as state and federal government departments.

I have more than 13 years experience in delivering and developing innovative investment solutions traversing banking and wealth management.
