Newfound Research, a quantitative asset management firm focused on tactical, ETF-based investment strategies, has appointed Paula Boyd as senior vice president of sales and marketing.
Boyd joins Newfound during a time of substantial growth for the firm, as it expands the distribution of its investment strategies to discretionary separate accounts, licensed model delivery and other packaged solutions.
"The progress we have experienced in recent years has positioned us to expand nationally and to offer our investment strategies to a larger community of advisors and institutional platforms. We have confidence that an industry veteran of Paula's calibre and expertise will have a huge impact on our future," says Tom Rosedale, Newfound CEO.
Boyd was an original member of the sales team in the RIA custody business for Charles Schwab. Upon leaving Schwab in 1996, Paula spent the next 15 years in business development for institutional asset management firm, Navellier & Associates.
Boyd will focus on establishing and managing key account relationships and on the sales and marketing of Newfound's investment solutions.
"I am very excited about joining the Newfound team," says Boyd. "I have admired their groundbreaking strategies for many years. Newfound's abilities have been well proven in the marketplace and their reputation in the industry is stellar."
