The news: Cbus Super has internally appointed Leigh Gavin as its new chief investment officer, tasked with growing the superannuation fund from $100 billion to $150 billion by the end of the decade.
The context: Current CIO Brett Chatfield will leave to take up an opportunity outside of industry super, joining a "large private family office" after completing the transition to Gavin.
Gavin will oversee the launch of Cbus’ active large-cap Core Australian equities strategy and continue to grow the company's internal global markets strategies.
Gavin joined Cbus in 2023 from AustralianSuper where he was head of investment model design. Prior to that, he was CIO of LUCRF Super, having advised some of Australia's largest funds at Frontier Advisors.
What they said: “I am passionate about making a contribution for our members, it is energising knowing every extra basis point our teams can earn goes directly to these hard-working Australians,” Gavin said.
“We are focused on growing their savings and aim to seek new opportunities in infrastructure – including data centres which are the bricks and mortar of the AI revolution, looking for diverse opportunities in property and investing in the energy transition.”
