Telstra Super has appointed Jim Christensen as its new chief investment officer.
Christensen, the former Queensland Investment Corporation active management managing director, will be responsible for building Telstra Super's investment expertise.
He will relocate to Melbourne and lead the investment team which manages more than $10 billion worth of funds under management.
Telstra Super has historically performed exceptionally well compared to the industry, something I intend to continue, Christensen said.
Telstra Super was delighted to have appointed such an accomplished and experienced investment professional, Telstra Super chief executive Martin Crowe said.
Christensen succeeds Steve Merlicek who resigned from Telstra Super and took up a position with IOOF as its chief investment officer in September this year.
The fund has around 100,000 members.
