American Beacon Appoints Matthew Tripp as Vice President, Senior Client Portfolio Manager, ARK Invest

Industry veteran brings 15 years of investment experience; will focus on expanding reach of ARK’s strategies across the U.S. wealth management space

IRVING, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--American Beacon Partners (“American Beacon”), an experienced provider of investment advisory services to institutional and retail markets, today announced the appointment of Matthew Tripp, CFA®, as Senior Client Portfolio Manager for ARK Invest.

In his new role, Tripp will work closely with the American Beacon and ARK Invest teams to support client relationships and help expand the reach of ARK’s investment strategies across the U.S. wealth management space. He reports to Jay Schilling, CFA®, Head of Wealth & Institutional Sales.

Tripp brings more than 15 years of experience across investment management, business development, and distribution. Most recently, he served as Director, Investment Product Consultant at Envestnet PMC, where he worked with private wealth clients and advisors across direct indexing, tax management, alternatives and manager research. He was responsible for the full client acquisition lifecycle – from initial discovery to portfolio funding – and helped drive 19% year-over-year growth across direct indexing, model portfolios and private wealth solutions.

Prior to Envestnet, Tripp served as Senior Director of Sub-Advisory at Aegon Asset Management, where he was a client portfolio manager for fixed-income strategies distributed through third-party partnerships. Earlier in his career, he spent more than five years at Touchstone Investments, building relationships across RIAs, bank trusts, independent advisors, broker-dealer platforms, institutional consultants and family offices.

Greg Stumm, President and CEO of American Beacon Partners, said: “Matt brings a level of industry knowledge that can make a real difference as we continue building our distribution platform and solutions. He understands how advisors evaluate investment strategies and how to build relationships. And his skillset exemplifies the depth of expertise and practical insight we bring to our asset manager partners, helping them access new markets and continue to scale. We’re excited to have Matt join the team and believe he will be a great resource to our clients and partners.”

Tripp’s appointment comes as American Beacon continues to expand its distribution model and expand its advisor coverage nationwide. Over the past two years, the firm has added Regional Advisor Consultants across the West, Northeast, South Atlantic, South Central, and North Central regions, giving advisors across the major U.S. markets a dedicated point of contact.

Tripp’s addition brings another important piece to that model, pairing regional coverage with dedicated client portfolio management expertise focused on the ARK Invest platform. Together, the expanded team gives advisors greater access to both the people and expertise needed to evaluate strategies for their clients.

American Beacon is also developing and elevating its existing Sales talent. Several of the firm’s regional advisor consultants and internal wholesalers have moved into expanded regional and leadership roles this year. This includes a Regional Advisor Consultant recently promoted to a market director role.
