"His depth of knowledge and experience, especially in alternatives will be a valuable addition to the VicSuper investment team’s skill set," Mr Fabian said.

Ms Tsiaousis will be responsible for running the risk model in the BlackRock Aladdin system at VicSuper.

"The need to enhance our risk management capability, including more stress testing of risk scenarios, is a priority for VicSuper," Mr Fabian said.

Ms Tsiaousis will start with VicSuper on 1 July 2015, while Mr Lum will start work on 13 July.
