The Australian Council of Super Investors (ACSI) has appointed Gerard Noonan as president, after serving for the past year as deputy president.
Noonan is also currently the chair of Media Super and president of the Australian Institute of Superannuation Trustees, and chairs Innovation Australia’s Venture Capital Committee.
Noonan’s place as deputy president will be taken by committee member Trish Donahue, who is also the executive manager of investments for Cbus, and was previously an actuarial analyst at Mercer.
The super fund announced that Gregory has been appointed to its executive leadership team, taking on the fresh role of chief advice officer.
The deputy governor has warned that, as super funds’ overseas assets grow and liquidity risks rise, they will need to expand their FX hedge books to manage currency exposure effectively.
Super funds have built on early financial year momentum, as growth funds deliver strong results driven by equities and resilient bonds.
The super fund has announced that Mark Rider will step down from his position of chief investment officer (CIO) after deciding to “semi-retire” from full-time work.
