As Founder and Managing Director, Angus is responsible for shaping and leading the business. His role includes evaluating prospective investment manager partnerships, overseeing the implementation of new investment strategies, and guiding strategic relationships.

Prior to founding Continental Funds Group, Angus was Executive Director and Co-Founder of Jamieson Coote Bonds, where he now serves as Chairman and Non-Executive Director. Since co-founding the firm in 2014, he helped grow it into a multi-billion dollar fixed income manager trusted by institutional, wholesale, and retail investors.

During this time, he specialised in marketing Australian government bonds and a range of other debt products. Angus executed the first-ever Australian bond investments on behalf of several major Asian central banks — institutions that have since become the largest holders of Australian government debt. He later returned to Australia with ANZ before joining Westpac in Sydney, where he led global central bank distribution.
