Dallas-headquartered Highland Capital Management has kicked off a search for a Southwest wholesaler, according to its Web site. The territory includes Southern California, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico and Hawaii.

The post is pre-existing, according to a company representative.

The wholesaler will report to Highland Funds' managing director of retail products and work with wirehouses, regional and independent broker-dealers to pitch Highland's mutual and interval funds, closed-end funds and other registered offerings.

At present, Highland has 10 external and five internal wholesalers.

"Highland Funds has consistently maintained its number of sales people for the retail business, but is considering growing the team as the business continues to expand," the spokesperson wrote in e-mailed comments to The MFWire.

Highland's roster of mutual and interval funds include the Floating Rate Advantage, Floating Rate, Healthcare and Long/Short Equity funds.
