Mint appoints senior investment analyst

Tom Deacon was previously a senior analyst within Macquarie’s Australia/New Zealand research team and led healthcare and technology research alongside equity strategy.

He began his financial markets career at First NZ Capital’s (now Jarden) institutional equities team; subsequently joining Evolution Healthcare and working with fund principals and senior management to increase their private healthcare businesses.

Mint’s chief operations officer Simon Haworth says Deacon’s strong analytical background and technical skills will be used to strengthen the company’s research capability.
