Watson Wyatt principal Graeme Miller will take over from David Neal as head of the investment consulting practice following Neal's decision to take on the job as chief investment officer for the Future Fund.
"We still have a deep and experienced team at Watson Wyatt and as the asset consultant to the Future Fund we will work closely with David," Miller said.
Watson Wyatt has 26 investment professionals located in Sydney and Melbourne. Miller said the firm is currently looking for experienced people.
Miller joined Watson Wyatt's actuarial and employee benefits practice in 2000, and in January 2005 transferred to the investment consulting practice to help establish the firm's Melbourne office.
"Our strategy to build Australia's most talented and experienced investment consulting team has been a critical factor in our continued business growth and success," Watson Wyatt managing director Andrew Boal said
