Generate welcomes Ciaran Scott as National Advice Manager

Press Release: 26 January 2024

We're pleased to announce Ciaran Scott has joined the Generate team as our new National Advice Manager.

Ciaran brings over 15 years of experience in financial services across both New Zealand and Australia to the Generate Distribution team. Ciaran started his career as a financial adviser
in Wellington and has since developed a proven track record leading and coaching financial sales teams to success. 

In his most recent role, Ciaran was leading the Distribution function for BT New Zealand/Westpac funds, where he helped grow their presence in the institutional market, develop capabilities across the banking network, and managed their strategic partnership with Forsyth Barr.

Previous to this he spent 10 years in Sydney, working for BT Financial Group, where he helped build successful advice teams across the country. He’s also spent time with global insurer, MetLife Inc. where he helped launch their retail insurance offering to the IFA (Independent Financial Adviser) market. 

“I'm very excited to be joining a leading KiwiSaver and wealth manager, with such a stellar reputation for customer service among both consumers and advisers.” said Ciaran.

We're proud of our track record of strong long-term returns; the last Morningstar KiwiSaver Survey showed each of the original Generate KiwiSaver Scheme funds placed in the top two in their respective categories for 10-year performance to 30 September 2023;

  
The Generate Focused Growth KiwiSaver fund ranked 1st out of 8 funds in the Multi-sector Aggressive category*

     
The Generate Growth KiwiSaver fund ranked 2nd out of 14 funds in the Multi-sector Growth category*

     
The Generate Moderate KiwiSaver fund ranked 1st out of 12 funds in the Multi-sector Moderate category* 

And because our members mean the most to us, we're also stoked to have been recognised for our exceptional service again, with our recent win at the Research IP Funds Manager of the Year Awards, where Generate won the Investor Choice Award for KiwiSaver.
