Sunsuper has hired former State Super chief investment officer Richard Hedley as portfolio manager for private markets. He started earlier this month.

Hedley will oversee asset management activities across Sunsuper's $20+ billion private markets portfolio both domestically and abroad. "[He] will work closely within the private markets team, external investment managers and various investee companies to drive the development and implementation of best-in-class asset management across Sunsuper's real estate, infrastructure, private equity and alternative strategies portfolios", according to a spokesperson for the fund.

Hedley joined State Super as head of unlisted assets and alternatives before he was promoted to CIO amid a leadership shuffle. He left the fund in December of 2018 after about two years.
