Arrow Investment Advisors has appointed John Cadigan as National Sales Manager. Cadigan brings more than 25 years of financial services industry experience to the role, having established effective sales distribution teams for both traditional and alternative investments.
Prior to joining Arrow, he most recently served as managing director/national sales manager for Direxion Funds.
"John has an impressive track record of helping boutique asset managers to build strong partnerships at the national accounts level," says Jake Griffith, Arrow’s president and sales director. "His expertise in educating the financial advisor community about the potential benefits of alternative investments, along with his ETF acumen, will be beneficial as Arrow continues to deliver non-traditional investment solutions aimed at helping advisors manage risk."
While at Direxion, Cadigan developed the distribution strategy for the firm’s alternative and ETF lineup within the broker/dealer and registered investment advisor (RIA) channels, as well as the retail and institutional investor marketplaces. He also spent more than ten years at Rydex Investments where he helped to establish the firm as an early entrant in the alternative investment mutual funds space. In addition to his distribution responsibilities, Cadigan has served as a portfolio strategist charged with providing financial adviser education on alternative investments and ETFs through various speaking and media engagements.
"Arrow has done a tremendous job of delivering solutions to help financial advisors meet some of today’s more thematic investment challenges – such as addressing the ongoing search for competitive yield with the launch of the Arrow Dow Jones Global Yield ETF GYLD -0.93 per cent," says Cadigan. "I’m excited to join the team and help deepen relationships within the advisor community through an emphasis on client needs and creative partnerships."
