AMIST Super boosts investment team

Retains consultant

By Christine St Anne
Tue 31 Aug 2010

The industry super fund is boosting its investment team.


AMIST Super has hired Megan Pham as its chief investment officer (CIO).

Pham previously worked at NGS Super as an analyst. She has also worked at Mercer.

"I am absolutely delighted to have Megan join our team. She will be involved in some exciting developments for the fund," AMIST Super chief executive John Livanas said.

Pham will be involved in manager reviews, attribution analysis, investment operations and assisting in establishing the strategic direction for the fund's investments.

She will also work closely with the fund's asset consultant JANA Investment Advisers, Livanas said.

"We aim to maintain a close relationship with our consultant," he said.

Livanas said the fund had hired a CIO because of the growing complexity of the investment environment.

"There is a growing need for our fund to have the capacity to manage its investments. Resources are needed to help manage the asset allocation process, particularly for complex investments," he said.
