UniSuper chair to retire
UniSuper chair Ian Martin is to retire at the end of 2022 after almost 10 years with the $108 billion fund.
He would be replacing by Mark Armour, a non-executive on the fund since July 2017 and chair of the fund’s investment committee and its technology and projects committee.
Martin had served as chair since July 2017 and had sat on the board since April 2013, having formerly worked as chief executive of BT Financial Group.
Incoming chair Armour was formerly chief executive of Invesco Australia and chief executive of funds management at AXA Australia.
Martin said: “I feel proud to have chaired the fund through the rapidly-evolving market and regulatory environment in the last few years, and in particular the successful transition to full public offer in July 2021.
“I thank my fellow directors and the entire UniSuper team, members and other stakeholders for their support and commitment.”
Armour said: “UniSuper is one of Australia’s leading super funds. It will certainly be an honour to work with my experienced colleagues on the board and our talented executive leadership team to guide this exceptional fund as chair.
“Ian always provided strong strategic direction for the fund, so this transition will be seamless.”
