Stephen Duff joins the company, which serves international high net worth clients, from P2 Group, which he co-founded before it was later acquired by Sanlam.
He was also previously director of North America and Far East sales at Old Mutual (Bermuda), and executive vice president responsible for new business development and sales at American General Annuity/Western National Life.
Edward Horner, chief marketing officer at Northstar, said: “[Duff’s] impressive track record of driving sales of offshore investment products, as well as his extensive network of contact amongst the international financial adviser community, will be of tremendous benefit to the firm as we continue to develop out global distribution channels.”
Northstar was established in 1998 as Nationwide Financial Services (Bermuda) Ltd and offers a range of fixed rate and variable investment products to a global client base.
