Mine Super has confirmed that acting chief investment officer, Seamus Collins, will step up as permanent CIO, after taking over the temporary role following David Bell’s departure last December.
Collins had been at the fund since November, 2017, following over a decade working in JP Morgan Chase Bank NA’s superannuation segments and also in senior roles at the Australian Securities Exchange and Australian Stock Exchange.
“I am extremely honoured to be given this opportunity to oversee the investment outcomes for the members of Mine Super,” Collins said on his appointment. “Joining the leadership team of a Fund with such a deep connection to its members is a great responsibility and I look forward to building upon these strong foundations.”
With the merger between Mine Super and TWUSuper in its late stages, the head of the soon-to-be combined fund is the latest to join ASFA’s board.
The fund has announced new additions to its trustee board.
Brighter Super has confirmed an executive search is underway to succeed its long-serving chief financial officer Garnett Hollier.
The research house has hired an experienced product specialist for its Australasian team.
