Dynamic Funds Tuesday announced the addition of Don Simpson as portfolio manager, effective December 3.

Simpson will take on the role of co-manager on both Dynamic Canadian Dividend Fund and Dynamic Global Dividend Fund, working closely with David Fingold, vice president and portfolio manager at Dynamic, who will remain lead manager on the funds.

Simpson, with 17 years of industry experience, is joining Fingold’s team to provide additional expertise on Canadian and global equities, with a focus on dividend paying securities. The addition of Simpson follows the announcement last month of new additions to Dynamic’s fixed income team in Montreal, part of an ongoing process to further increase both the depth and market reach of Dynamic’s investment management capabilities.

Before joining Dynamic, Simpson was served as lead manager for Trimark Income Growth Fund at Invesco Canada Ltd.
