MTAA Super investments manager to depart

MTAA Super's executive manager of investments, Phil Brown, will depart the organisation ahead of the merger with Tasplan in 2021. He has been with the organisation since 2005, most recently as executive manager of investments.

Ross Barry is set to join the organisation as the new chief investment officer in October.

"On behalf of our respective Boards, staff, and members, I sincerely thank all the executives for their dedication and commitment to the funds," said CEO designate Leeanne Turner. "They have been instrumental in driving this merger and have been integral to our success for many years leading up to this. I wish them all the best with their future endeavours."

Brown is one of several executives that will depart in the merger, including Tasplan CEO Wayne Davy and acting CIO Dave Stuart.

Before joining MTAA, held investing roles in the health insurance space, including with Medibank. He started his career as a statistical analyst with the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
