Fundsters interested in IRAs, 529s, retirement income and Putnam may want to keep an eye on David Tyrie. The MFWire's sister publication, The 401kWire, broke the news yesterday that Tyrie, one-time head of retirement services at Putnam, is jumping to Bank of America Merrill Lynch as head of personal retirement under retirement and philanthropic services chief Andy Sieg (see The 401kWire, 8/2/2010).

Sieg confirmed that Tyrie succeeds Aimee DeCamillo, who joined T. Rowe Price last month as head of marketing for retirement services.

Tyrie, who previously led Putnam's retirement unit, changed roles twice since the beginning of 2009, first when Ed Murphy took over Putnam's defined contribution business and second when Ben Lewis took over DC sales and relationship management. A Putnam spokesman told The 401kWire that, instead of replacing Tyrie, Putnam will "absorb" his responsibilities via existing staff.

Dow Jones also picked up on Tyrie's hiring.

Tyrie with handle retirement education, employee advice, individual retirement income, IRAs and rollovers, and 529s.
