Victorian super fund Vision Super has appointed Frontier Advisors’ Michael Wrysch to the newly created chief investment officer role.
It comes as the $7 billion fund looks to extend investment management operations.
Wrysch, who is currently a senior investment consultant at Frontier Advisors, has 25 years experience in investment, asset allocation and capital markets.
His role will include overseeing the internal investment process, strengthening core internal investment capabilities, and managing the Vision Pooled Superannuation Trust (VPST).
He will start in the role on 2 June.
“Michael will make a major contribution to our goal of growing both the super fund and the Vision Pooled Superannuation Trust, a superannuation product that has attracted two other industry fund clients,” Vision Super CEO Stephen Rowe said.
Rowe was appointed as Vision Super’s permanent chief executive officer in December 2013.
