Ok let\u2019s be clear, there is no one path to lead you to a Chief Investment Officer (CIO) position. However, if recent appointments of CIOs in superannuation are anything to go by, then spending part of your career in investment consulting will certainly help your cause.<\/p>\n
The recent appointment of Leigh Gavin from Frontier Advisors to LUCRF Super and Graeme Miller from Willis Towers Watson to Telstra Super continues the trend of superannuation funds hiring directly from investment consulting firms. Other recent appointments include Greg Clerk from JANA to Head of Investment Strategy at Hostplus.<\/p>\n
The appointment of Leigh Gavin now makes it 6 current CIO’s who spent their formative years at Frontier Advisors. Kristin Fok at CBUS, Sam Silica at Hostplus, Ed Smith at LegalSuper, Michael Wyrsch at Vision Super and Matt Kempton at ESSuper. This is a huge endorsement for the quality of Frontier\u2019s business and their people if ever there was one.<\/p>\n
Obviously Willis Towers Watson has also produced some talented investment consultants, and Graeme Miller\u2019s 16 years\u2019 investment consulting experience will equip him well to lead Telstra Super\u2019s investment team.<\/p>\n
Superannuation funds hire specialists from investment consulting firms for a variety of reasons:<\/p>\n
It is interesting to observe the increased interest from funds management professionals wanting to work in investment consulting. Perhaps they are realising that the skills and experience from working in investment consulting can help pave the way to one day becoming a CIO.<\/p>\n
