Former Mercer Principal Consultant joins TCorp

TCorp has announced the appointment of Derek Mock to the role of senior portfolio manager.

Mock joins TCorp after a decade at Mercer where he held the role of principal consultant, advising "large industry clients on broad aspects of building and managing institutional investment portfolios", TCorp said.

He joins fellow new recruits, Tanya Branwhite, as head of portfolio construction, and Tom Gillespie, as senior manager portfolio risk, which TCorp said are the last in a "sequence of key appointments" since restructuring its investments business.

TCorp chief investment officer, Stewart Brentnall, said of the latest recruits: "These appointments dramatically strengthen TCorp's organisational capabilities in key areas of our investment management model. Each of the appointments brings highly relevant experience gained at the coalface of financial services and portfolio management, in Australia and in some cases internationally."

He added: "We look forward to their contribution as we position TCorp to deliver best practice investment management and advice to our clients".
