Murphy’s departure was confirmed by Christian Super chairman, Neville Cox who paid credit to his work citing the fund’s growth under leadership.
Cox said the board was preparing to begin a recruitment process to find a permanent replacement for Murphy but that, in the meantime, the existing executive team would manage the day to day responsibilities until a new CEO was appointed.
Cox said that he, as chairman, would be the key point of representation for all external parties.
