The role will also be responsible for building the presence of Aware Super, firstly in Europe, and other offshore markets in addition to growing relationships which support the effective origination and ownership of assets.
Aware Super’s Chief Investment Officer, Damian Graham said, ”we are delighted to announce Damien has accepted this exciting new growth opportunity within the Investments team, as we continue to focus on key initiatives such as international expansion to deliver longer-term strong returns and competitive fees for members.
