The Australian Institute of Superannuation Trustees (AIST) has announced the appointment of former Federal Treasurer and deputy prime minister Wayne Swan to its board.
Swan was also chair of Cbus Super and filled the trustee-elected director vacancy which had been left by Sonya Beyers from BUSS (Queensland).
It had also appointed Sarah Adams, group executive strategy for reputation and corporate affairs at Australian Super. Adams was filling the staff-elected vacancy, formerly held by her AustralianSuper colleague Louise du Pre-Alba.

Bravura CEO Andrew Russell has announced he will be stepping down from the company, just under two years after his appointment.
