The news: Aware Super has announced that its long-serving chief investment officer Damian Graham will transition into the role of head of international, based in London.
The numbers: Graham has spent 12 years in Sydney as the superannuation fund's CIO. The transition follows 12 months of succession planning discussions where Graham shared his intention to retire over the next few years.
The context: Aware Super said a global search to appoint a new CIO is now underway, with Graham to remain in his current role before relocating to London at the end of the year.
Since opening its London headquarters in 2023, Aware Super has committed more than £2 billion ($4.15 billion) under a plan to invest £5.25 billion in the UK and continental Europe over five years.
What they said: “We are absolutely delighted that Damian will stay with the fund and has accepted this role as head of international to lead our global activities based out of London, which will further elevate our international profile and performance as we actively pursue our strategy as a global asset owner,” said Aware Super CEO Deanne Stewart.
“This carefully managed transition ensures Aware Super continues to benefit from Damian’s extensive investment experience as we continue to build our global presence and ensure we retain the fund’s strong culture as we expand internationally.”
