Colonial First State Global Asset Management has hired another superannuation fund executive, appointing Jeremy Edmonds business development manager.
In June 2006, Retail Employees Superannuation Trust (REST) former chief executive Neil Cochrane moved into the job as the global head of business development and deputy chief executive of Colonial First State Global Asset Management.
There is no official start date for Edmonds. At this stage Qantas Superannuation has yet to confirm a new chief executive.
"Jeremy will be primarily responsible for managing the key relationship with our major client, Colonial First State, and over time will assume other client relationships," Cochrane said.
Edmonds began with Qantas Superannuation in 2003, since then the fund has grown to $6 billion in funds under management.
He has over 10 years' experience in funds management. Edmonds has worked for financial institutions Trust Company of Australia and AMP Henderson Global Investors.
"The calibre of this appointment strongly reflects our ability to attract the very best candidates in the market," Cochrane said.
