Franklin Templeton today announced the appointment of Jamie Gordon as Senior Vice President, Senior Consultant Advisor, US Institutional. In this new role, he will be responsible for managing the firm’s relationship with several of its largest and key consulting firm partners, particularly those on the East Coast, where he is based.

Gordon reports to Mike Foley, Head of US Institutional, who oversees Franklin Templeton’s US institutional direct sales, consultant relations and relationship management teams and serves as an essential liaison to institutional distribution leaders at the firm’s independent specialist investment managers.

“We are pleased to welcome Jamie to our experienced team. His extensive expertise will help us in continuing to raise the bar in terms of delivering the high-quality service our institutional clients and their consultants have come to expect over the more than four decades that Franklin Templeton has served the US institutional marketplace," said Foley.

Gordon has 25 years of experience in financial services. He joins from Income Research + Management, most recently serving as Principal, Senior Client Portfolio Manager, focusing on direct sales, consultant relations and client services. Prior to joining Income Research + Management in 2009, he held positions at JPMorgan Securities and Prudential Securities.

“I am very excited to join Franklin Templeton to help build upon the firm’s long-term commitment to serving institutional consultants and clients,” said Gordon. “Franklin Templeton has a robust set of world-class solutions, spanning traditional and alternative investments, and I look forward to working with Mike and the broader team to help customize and deliver these offerings to institutional clients.”

Gordon’s appointment follows the hire of John Ivanac as Senior Vice President, Senior Consultant Advisor, US Institutional, focused on alternative investment capabilities, on Foley’s team in June.
