$410 billion AustralianSuper appointed Shaun Manuell as chief investment officer, elevating the longtime head of its Australian equities arm to replace veteran investor Mark Delaney.
Manuell has run the fund’s $100 billion Australian equities business since 2013, building a strong performance record as the fund sought to lift member returns at greater scale.
His promotion comes after AustralianSuper’s growing ownership of the local market hit practical limits, with Manuell saying the fund’s share of the ASX had reached 3.2%.
The move puts an internal stock-picking specialist in charge of investment strategy at Australia’s largest super fund as it manages the constraints of deploying ever larger pools of capital.
