NGS Super CEO to step down after nearly a decade of service

NGS Super has announced that Anthony Rodwell-Ball resigned in December as chief executive office of the $8 billion fund, and will depart on 31 March 2018.

Rodwell-Ball has served as CEO of the fund for over nine years, making him the fund's longest serving CEO.

In a media statement, the NGS Super board commented on his departure: "We sincerely thank Anthony for his unwavering commitment to the Fund and its members in propelling the Fund forward during some significant periods of transformation in the industry. Anthony takes with him the respect of the Board and his fellow staff for delivering a strategy and vision that will leave the Fund in a solid position for the future."

Rodwell-Ball added: "It has been my great privilege to have served at the helm of this exceptional fund which has consistently delivered healthy returns for its members and is poised for further growth."

"I'm really proud of what the Fund and its dedicated staff have accomplished and I feel confident that this is an appropriate time for me to pass the torch on and welcome new leadership to continue the Fund's success. I look forward to the next phase in my life, pursuing part-time executive opportunities as a transition strategy into retirement."

Plans for Rodwell-Ball's successor are yet to be confirmed. Senior manager, governance, Laura Wright, has stepped in as acting CEO in the interim.
