Making the move from Funds SA as equities portfolio manager, Mr Crisci will commence his new role on 14 August and replace Dan Farmer, who has been internally promoted to chief investment officer.
Mr Farmer said he was delighted that Mr Crisci was joining the IOOF team.
“Paul brings more than 17 years’ experience managing portfolios and a strong track record of investment performance, which will strengthen IOOF’s high-calibre and award-winning investment management team,” Mr Farmer said.
“Paul’s appointment completes the CIO transition process, with our focus remaining firmly on providing superior investment returns for investors through our premium, fully-active IOOF MultiMix range of funds and the new low-cost active range of funds called IOOF MultiSeries.”
