XShares Names National Sales Director

Reported by Erin Kello

XShares Securities, an affiliate of ETF shop XShares Advisors, has promoted Edward Lynch from regional sales manager to national sales director. Lynch is in charge of national retail and institutional distribution of XShares Advisors' ETFs.

The position of national sales director was previously held by Don Aven, who has left the company. There are no plans to hire someone to fill Lynch's previous position, according to a company spokesman.

XShares recently landed 401(k) distribution for its offerings with retirement plan provider RPG Consultants. There is still no word on when the firm will enter the active ETF race as part-owner Don Putnam said back in October.
