NGS Super has awarded two investment mandates to fund manager Robeco. The $15 billion superannuation fund has appointed the Dutch asset manager to run two mandates: Government Bond Sustainable Enhanced Indexing and Emerging Markets Enhanced Indexing.
Headquartered in Rotterdam but with a presence in Australia for over a decade, Robeco specialises in enhanced indexing and sustainable fixed income strategies which it says are an alternative to passive investing.
As of March 2025, it had $328 billion in assets under management.
Ben Squires, chief investment officer at NGS Super, said: “We are delighted to be partnering with Robeco again and expanding the enhanced indexing range to deliver strong, risk-adjusted returns to our members and lower the carbon intensity of the portfolio.”
Stephen Dennis, head of Robeco Australia and New Zealand, said: ““Through Robeco’s quantitative investing capabilities, we create tailored solutions that seek to generate alpha and deliver strong overall results for their members, while aligning with clients’ sustainability goals. These new mandates further strengthen our partnership with NGS Super and underscore our shared commitment to delivering innovative investment solutions.”
Last year, NGS Super appointed Fotine Kotsilas as its new chief risk officer, continuing a series of executive changes aimed at driving growth. She joined from NobleOak Life, bringing over 25 years’ experience in insurance, superannuation, and workers’ compensation, with prior senior roles at Suncorp, AMP, Resolution Life, and icare.
Kotsilas’ appointment followed a slew of recent changes to the fund’s executive committee, including the appointment of Ben Facer as chief member officer and deputy CEO, Philippa Minney as chief financial officer, and Luke Jansson as chief people officer.
