AvSuper appoints new investment officer
AvSuper has announced the appointment of Scott Malpass to the newly created role of investment officer. The role is focused on the analysis and monitoring of the firm's investment portfolio with the Investment Committee, custodian and managers.
Malpass will also play a crucial role in responding to increasing member demand for more commentary, information and education about superannuation investment matters in general, and AvSuper's investment portfolio in particular.
As well as having formal financial management qualifications, Malpass was trained as a cadet in a super administration firm, where he worked with both defined benefit and accumulation accounts.
More recently, he worked for Military Super's Investment/Operations team dealing with unit pricing, investment compliance, fund operations and alternative investments.
Malpass also has aviation experience from the Royal Australian Air Force, where he worked as a technician servicing aircraft engines and airframes.
In welcoming the new appointment, AvSuper chief executive officer Michelle Griffiths said she was confident Malpass was uniquely placed to assist the Trustee in managing client investments.
