Mine Super has confirmed that acting chief investment officer, Seamus Collins, will step up as permanent CIO, after taking over the temporary role following David Bell’s departure last December.
Collins had been at the fund since November, 2017, following over a decade working in JP Morgan Chase Bank NA’s superannuation segments and also in senior roles at the Australian Securities Exchange and Australian Stock Exchange.
“I am extremely honoured to be given this opportunity to oversee the investment outcomes for the members of Mine Super,” Collins said on his appointment. “Joining the leadership team of a Fund with such a deep connection to its members is a great responsibility and I look forward to building upon these strong foundations.”
Cbus has swiftly promoted Leigh Gavin to chief investment officer only months after naming him deputy, as the fund works towards growing in size and bringing its investment expertise in-house.
Bravura CEO Andrew Russell has announced he will be stepping down from the company, just under two years after his appointment.
The $16 billion fund has teamed up with a retirement income product specialist to give its members more confidence to spend in retirement.
