R. Wayne Hunter
Vice President, Funds Controller
Mr. Hunter joined Polaris in 1995 from North Carolina where he had worked in investment and trust fund accounting at the headquarters of First Union National Bank. He had also been associated with Charlotte’s local office of Edward D. Jones & Co. Hunter’s initial responsibilities at Polaris were in accounting and client recordkeeping for the firm's trust funds, including the Polaris Group Trust. He later assumed responsibility for all fund operations
and accounting.
Prior to moving into the investment arena, Hunter worked in individual tax and payroll accounting, and served twelve years in the US Marine Corps — five of them at the rank of Captain. Hunter attended Arizona Western Junior College on a golf scholarship, and graduated from National University in San Diego with a BBA in Financial Accounting.
