UniSuper has made two appointments to its private markets team.
Sukhi Lekhi was appointed as a senior investment analyst, and Lachlan McLeish, was appointed as an investment analyst.
Both would report to Sandra Lee, UniSuper’s head of private markets.
Lekhi joined UniSuper from Deloitte where she worked as an associate director in the mergers and acquisitions valuations practice while McLeish joined from PwC where he was a senior consultant in corporate valuation advisory of large infrastructure assets.
Lee said: “UniSuper is in the market for quality investment opportunities that deliver long-term value for our members.
“Sukhi and Lachlan are both highly skilled investment professionals with deep experience in valuations, mergers and acquisitions. I have every confidence their expertise will enhance our capability and deliver real outcomes for our members.”
