State Super Financial Services (SSFS) has appointed Damian Graham as head of investment, a new role that was created to support the growing business.
Graham joins from Macquarie Bank, where he was head of private portfolio management.
"This newly-created executive role reflects the ongoing growth of SSFS and the need to continually offer clients differentiated performance and enhanced risk management solutions," SSFS managing director Michael Monaghan said.
The new position of head of investment is in addition to the existing chief investment officer role at the company.
"Richard Dinham will continue as CIO of SSFS, reporting to Damian," Monaghan said.
SSFS plans to further expand its investment team in coming months.
Graham would be responsible for the SSFS investment team, including evolving its investment beliefs and portfolio management techniques to support the changing dynamics of retiree client investment needs and new product development, the company said.
At Macquarie Bank, he managed the investment team and was responsible for all aspects of portfolio construction and implementation for private client portfolios.
SSFS has about $10 billion in funds under management and is fully-owned by State Super (SAS Trustee Corporation).
