July 2022
GII congratulates Jonathan Armitage on his appointment as the Chief Investment Officer of Colonial First State (CFS).
CFS is one of the largest retail super funds in Australia with AU$145 billion in assets under management and a membership base of approximately 670,000.
Jonathan joins CFS from MLC which recently merged with Insignia Financial (formerly - IOOF Holdings). Following the merger, the investment teams were combined, with Daniel Farmer appointed as the investment head.
During his time at MLC, Jonathan led the investment team and assumed overall responsibility for the investment outcomes of MLC portfolios for both retail and institutional clients, as the Chief Investment Officer of the organisation.
Jonathan joined MLC in August 2011 as Global Equities Portfolio Manager. He was appointed Head of Equities in December 2011 and Chief Investment Officer in March 2013.
Jonathan has over 27 years’ investment experience, having worked in Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States over a 20-year career with Schroders.
Jonathan’s appointment sees the departure of Scott Tully, general manager of investments who has been with CFS for 30 years.
We wish Jonathan all the best in his new role and continued success to the CFS team.
