Kate Griffin, divisional risk manager of investments, will be stepping down from her role at the Australian Retirement Trust (ART) after one year.
She would leave the post mid-March, an ART spokesperson confirmed.
Experienced in investment risk and governance, Griffin joined the superannuation fund in February 2022 after almost a decade with QSuper, which merged with Sunsuper to form ART last year.
Prior to that, she held the role of product specialist of real estate at Aviva Investors.
It was also confirmed that Roger Zhu would join the ART investment team after seven years as portfolio manager at Queensland Investment Corporation (QIC).
He specialised in dynamic asset allocation across major markets including tilts in equities, bonds, and FX and had been an assistant finance professor at the University of Queensland (UQ) between 2011 and 2016.
Finally, Daniel Smith joined the firm in January as senior portfolio manager for sustainable investments, joining from business consultancy Guerdon Associates where he advised businesses on sustainability and investment stewardship.
ART was formed in early 2022 through the merger of Sunsuper and QSuper and was the largest superannuation merger in history, creating a fund with $230 billion in combined funds under management.
