In this position, Minney will report directly to retirement income chairman Jeremy Cooper.
He will be responsible for generating additional intellectual property in the areas of decumulation portfolio construction, investment strategy, retirement risk mitigation, new product solutions and policy support.
"We are delighted to appoint an experienced investment strategist to help strengthen and grow the existing retirement income team," Cooper said.
"Aaron's appointment supports our thought-leadership ambitions in the retirement income market, which is becoming increasingly important as the first wave of baby boomers start moving into retirement this year."
Minney began work with Challenger last week and joins the firm from Colonial First State Global Asset Management (CFSGAM), where he was head of investment research and development.
Prior to his role with CFSGAM, he held portfolio management roles as Macquarie Funds Management head of Australian fixed interest and as a senior portfolio strategist at Insurance Australia Group. «
