Equip has appointed former Goldman Sachs managing director and chief investment officer (asset management) Andrew Cooke as an independent member of its investment committee.
Cooke has also worked in senior roles with Citigroup, Salomon Smith Barney and JP Morgan.
Equip chair Andrew Fairley said the fund's board welcomed Cooke's breadth and depth of knowledge and experience.
"We place great emphasis on our investment governance, strategy and industry background, which is fundamental to delivering optimal retirement outcomes for Equip members," he said.
"Andrew brings a wealth of expertise in analysis, portfolio management and policy to our deliberations, and adds substantially to the existing investment team's talent and resources."
