Fresh from its purchase of Ziegler Capital Management's North Track funds, Union Bank's investment management unit is looking to make two more additions to its team of external wholesalers, Greg Knopf, senior vice president and managing director of HighMark Funds, told TheMFWire in an interview.

HighMark currently has six internal and 10 external wholesalers, two of whom joined July 20 from North Track. The new additions are Peter Warren, who covers the South Atlantic region, and Jim Brendemuhl, who covers the Midwest/Central territory. They report to Craig Paty, national sales manager.

"We're looking for two more external wholesalers," Knopf said.

He said HighMark is searching for quality wholesalers regardless of where they are based, and current territories will be redrawn accordingly. He added that there's currently a gap in the Rocky Mountain states.

The North Track deal closed June 1.
