Investment house QIC has appointed Charles Woodhouse as head of alpha investments.
Woodhouse is the former head of research from California-based Stonebridge Capital and will be responsible for assessing active return strategies across QIC's investments.
QIC said Woodhouse would play an "integral role" in managing industry fund QSuper's new investment strategy, which aims to separate alpha and beta returns.
"Charles will fill an integral role in delivering on QIC's mission of maximising investment returns for our clients, consistent with their expectations and risk tolerances," QIC alpha committee chairman Jim Christensen said.
