Cbus has appointed Ciaran McBride as head of investment options management.
This newly-created role would be responsible for ensuring that all investment options were invested to be consistent with their investment strategy, and that the performance of the investment options reflected the targets of these strategies.
Options rebalancing was formerly conducted by custodian JPMorgan until December 2021 but the superannuation fund had now moved to internal management.
McBride was formerly head of investment analytics at the fund which Cbus said would help him as he had experience across the fund’s pricing structure.
He would report to Mark Ferguson, head of total portfolio management.
The $91 billion fund has doubled down on its data security, alongside enhancing its investment strategy, with two key appointments.
The Albanese government has appointed Jim Craig as a member of the Future Fund Board of Guardians for a five‑year term.
The $100 billion fund has appointed a new deputy CIO from within.
The $149 billion fund has named new directors following the departure of three outgoing board members.
