TCorp appoints Head of Portfolio Construction

TCorp has announced the appointment of Tanya Branwhite to the role of head of portfolio construction.

Branwhite has over 25 years' experience as an investment and equity analyst and strategist, portfolio manager and constructor on the buy and sell side, most recently as director of listed equities and director of market insights and portfolio implications at the Future Fund. Prior to this, she held senior macro and client strategy roles at Macquarie Group, Deutsche Bank and Citigroup Global Asset Management.

TCorp has also announced the appointments of senior portfolio manager, Derek Mock, and senior manager portfolio risk, Tom Gillespie.

TCorp chief investment officer, Stewart Brentnall, said: "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."

TCorp, which first announced a restructure of its investments business in May 2018, added that Branwhite, Mock and Gillespie's appointments are "the last in a sequence of key appointments", which includes Adrian Trollor as head of partner selection, Mike Daughton as head of technology, Patrick Fanning as head of exposure management, and Steve McKenna as head of investment advisory.

A spokesperson for the Future Fund declined to comment on whether or not a recruitment process is in place for Branwhite's successor.
