Get to know Darren
Before joining PlayfairTan, Darren was a research analyst at Morningstar Australasia where he conducted extensive quantitative and qualitative analysis of the full spectrum of asset classes. Previous to Morningstar, Darren worked as an investment manager representative in State Street’s Sydney office where he was responsible for efficient portfolio implementation. Darren’s career started in a derivatives role at Bank of Ireland. He then worked on an equities trading desk for London-based M&G Investment Management, one of the UK’s largest asset managers, before relocating to Australia.
Darren has a Bachelor of Finance degree with honours from the National University of Ireland, Cork, a Certificate in Mutual Funds from the Institute of Bankers in Ireland, and holds the United Kingdom Investment Management Certificate. He is also a Chartered Financial Analyst® (CFA®) charter holder after passing all three CFA exams in three consecutive years. The globally recognised CFA designation attests to Darren’s success in rigorous and comprehensive investment management and research analysis.
As an avid traveller, Darren immigrated to Australia from London via a lengthy and adventurous world trip spanning more than 30 countries. Darren remains passionate about travelling, though prefers much shorter trips these days.
