"TelstraSuper is a key institutional client for BT. We have a strong relationship with its team and are pleased that it has recognised the high calibre of the BT Australian Equity team through this appointment," BT's senior institutional business development manager Peter Mitchell said.
The TelstraSuper mandate is the third win for BT since August. It also won mandates with Mercer Global Investments and the Timber Industry Superannuation Scheme.
TelstraSuper already employs BT to run a global return fund.
Guy Strapp resigned as chief investment officer of BT Financial Group on Tuesday and will be replaced by Putnam Investment's former global currency chief Dirk Morris.
