Warakirri Expands Distribution Team with Head of Wholesale Appointment

29 July 2026

Warakirri Asset Management has announced the appointment of Emmanuel (Mani) Papakonstantinos as Head of Wholesale, whose focus will be on leading the expansion of the firm's market presence and relationships with consultants, key dealer groups and platforms.

Reporting to Warakirri's Head of Distribution, Stuart Devlin, Mr. Papakonstantinos joins the firm as it continues to broaden its distribution footprint alongside the addition of new investment capabilities to its line-up.

Most recently, Warakirri announced that it had partnered with integrated property company LongView to help distribute the second iteration of its Australian residential home equity investments fund which provides exposure to established residential property without requiring investors to purchase individual property outright. This follows the firm's launch of a Global Small Companies Fund in the second half of 2025 in conjunction with San Diego (US) based ClariVest Asset Management.

Mani brings to the role 20 years of experience in financial services working across financial advice, business development and investment research. He joins Warakirri from Copia Investment Partners where he was a senior member of the distribution team. He has also worked in distribution roles at SG Hiscock and Company and Equity Trustees and in investment research roles at AMP and AXA Australia.

Stuart Devlin, Head of Distribution said, "We're delighted to have someone of Mani's calibre and depth of client relationships join our team as we continue our focus on building Warakirri's relationships with family offices, financial advice practices, researchers and High Net Worth clients."

"Mani's strong network, coupled with his significant experience across key facets of the advice market, will play an important role as we work closely with our clients on delivering various investment solutions tailored to the evolving needs of the portfolio construction community," he added.
