Global Investment Institute congratulates Brett Chatfield on his promotion to Chief Investment Officer of Cbus Super.
Cbus is an industry super fund, established in 1984, eight years before super became compulsory in Australia, when it was known as the Building Unions Superannuation Scheme. Today, it has assets under management in excess of AU$83 billion (as of 12 May 2023) on behalf of more than 900,000 members. In May 2023 Cbus Super successfully completed its merger with EISS Super, welcoming 17,000 new members and establishing itself as the leading fund for energy and electrical workers in Australia.
Brett joined Cbus Super in February 2013 and prior to being appointed Chief Investment Officer had been Deputy Chief Investment Officer since June 2019 and held overall responsibility for asset allocation, public and private markets, responsible investing, and strategy and innovation.
Prior to joining Cbus, Brett worked in investment consulting, institutional investment management, and research, including roles with Frontier Advisors, Challenger, UniSuper, and Lonsec, and prior to that worked in the superannuation group at KPMG. He holds a Master of Applied Finance, Graduate Diploma of Science (Applied Statistics) and Bachelor of Business (Accountancy).
“Brett Chatfield has been integral in the development of Cbus’ highly successful investment model, which has generated incredibly strong long-term returns for our members.
“I look forward to working with Brett as he leads the investment of our members’ retirement savings and cements the strong links Cbus has through our investments in the real economy and jobs.
“Our members trust us to work hard for them and to invest in their sectors, and Brett has the expertise and connection to our members to deliver on this trust”, commented Kristian Fok, the Fund’s recently appointed Chief Executive Officer.
We wish Brett all the best in his new role and continued success to the team at Cbus Super.
