Touchstone Investments hired
Patrick Noble, previously
with
OppenheimerFunds, as an external wholesaler covering a portion
of the Midwest. Meanwhile, Cincinnati-headquartered Touchstone continues
to search for a wholesaler to cover Northern California and Nevada.
Noble started at Touchstone on December 14, vice president
of marketing
Sharon Karp told
The MFWire. He reports
to divisional sales manager
Daniel McGinley and covers Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota,
South Dakota, Nebraska and Wisconsin.
Noble's predecessor,
Bruce Palm, moved to the role of
vice president of institutional business development late last year.
Prior to joining Touchstone, Noble worked at OppenheimerFunds
as a regional sales manager. He also did stints at Franklin
Templeton and Nationwide Financial.
An OppenheimerFunds spokesperson was not immediately able to comment
on how Noble's duties are being handled.
Meanwhile, Touchstone continues to be on the hunt
for a wholesaler for the Northern California and Nevada territory.
The job opened up with a wholesaler's departure nearly three months
ago, Karp told
The MFWire.
Touchstone currently has 16 external wholesalers on the retail side, she said.
Besides Noble, another recent addition to Touchstone's sales team is
Rydex alum
Ravi Talati, who, as reported by
The MFWire last week, joined December 7
as a wholesaler covering Florida.
