Major NSW electricity industry super fund Energy Industries Superannuation Scheme (EISS) has hired Matt Olsen as its new chief investment officer.
Olsen’s role will include leading and managing the fund’s investment activities.
He was previously deputy chief investment officer and head of manager research at van Eyk.
He decided to move back into funds management and joined retail multi-manager Select Investment Partners, where he was appointed as its head of research in November 2013.
Olsen has also worked as a senior investment analyst at Colonial First State, LFG Holdings and Ausbil Dexia.
“With more than 20 years experience in the wealth management and financial services industries, Matt will bring quality insights and a significant depth of knowledge to the team,” EISS CEO Alex Hutchison said.
Olsen starts his role immediately.
