NGS Super awards $300m mandate
Industry super fund, NGS Super, has awarded a $300 million global equity mandate to Bell Asset Management (BAM).
NGS chief executive, Anthony Rodwell-Ball, said Bell's emphasis on capital protection and history of minimisation of drawdowns in bear markets was a compelling reason to appoint them.
"Bell Asset Management's investment approach, proven track record over 13 years and the ability to deliver consistent levels of alpha over differing market cycles was a stand-out factor during a recent review of our global equities portfolio," Rodwell-Ball said.
Also commenting on the mandate, Bell's managing director, Rob Sullivan, said: "We look forward to building a strong and long partnership with NGS Super and delivering the best results we possibly can to its members".

Earlier this month, several Australian superannuation funds fell victim to credential stuffing attacks, which saw a small number of members lose more than $500,000.
