The fund’s head of portfolio construction and quantitative research Michael Mi has been promoted to the newly created role of deputy chief investment officer.
In the new role, he will continue to lead these teams and will also assume leadership of the liquid alternatives function.
Additionally, NGS Super’s head of ESG and responsible investment Skye King will take on an expanded role of head of investment governance and responsible investment, while Wendy Fang has been promoted to senior ESG research consultant.
The appointments follow the fund’s latest decision to combine the ESG and investment governance teams under a single leadership structure.
Commenting on the appointments, NGS Super’s CEO Natalie Previtera said they “underscore our commitment to fostering talent within the fund to ensure that we have the right leadership to navigate the evolving investment landscape and deliver sustainable returns for our members.”
“Michael’s deep investment expertise, Skye’s leadership in responsible investment, and Wendy’s passion for ESG will continue to enhance our investment capabilities,” she said.
Earlier this year, the fund announced the creation of a new advice and education team to be led by Darryn Studdert.
At the time, CEO Previtera said centralising the advice and education functions would strengthen the fund’s personalised services and its ability to add value to members through the delivery of information and education.
