Ms Bradford’s appointment follows the departure of Louise Davidson, who left the firm to join the Australian Council of Superannuation Investors as its chief executive.
Cbus executive manager of investment strategy Kristian Fok said: “We are delighted to have someone of Nicole’s calibre joining the Cbus investment team.

“I’m looking forward to working for a dynamic and innovative fund such as Cbus to help promote good governance and sustainability across a large portfolio,” she said.
