Cbus has appointed Ciaran McBride as head of investment options management.
This newly-created role would be responsible for ensuring that all investment options were invested to be consistent with their investment strategy, and that the performance of the investment options reflected the targets of these strategies.

He would report to Mark Ferguson, head of total portfolio management.
