Mr Sloan will be responsible for medium-term tactical asset allocation and will work with appointed managers and asset class specialists to identify medium-term investment opportunities.
He has more than 27 years of investment management experience, holding positions at NAB, Red Centre Capital, Deutsche Bank, Bankers Trust, Macquarie Bank and most recently Sydney Cover Capital.
Mr Barnes will manage Sunsuper’s listed equities portfolios.
He has more than 25 years of experience in a range of equities and asset management roles at JP Morgan, AMP Capital, NSW State Super, Imprimatur Capital and, most recently, chief executive of RHB OSK Asset Management in Singapore.
Sunsuper chief investment officer David Hartley said the time was right for the fund to build on its existing investment management capability and look at new ways to add value for the fund’s members.
“We believe that other sources of added value can come from being more dynamic in asset allocation and also looking more broadly in listed shares,” said Mr Hartley.
“Alastair and Greg bring with them a wealth of experience to complement our existing team and these appointments best position Sunsuper to pursue additional sources of returns for our members.”
