GII congratulates Phil Naylor on his appointment as the Deputy Chief Investment Officer of Spirit Super.
Spirit Super is an industry superannuation fund managing more than AU$26 billion in assets on behalf of more than 325,000 members.
In addition to being the deputy chief investment officer of the fund, Phil will also serve as the general manager of investment strategy.
Phil joins Spirit Super from Frontier Advisors, where he spent close to five years, most recently in the role of Head of Capital Markets and Asset Allocation. He has over a decade of senior experience, much of that with the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) in both Sydney and New York, and as the RBA’s representative on the G20 Investment and Infrastructure Working Group.
Philip has also worked as a consultant to the World Bank in Washington DC and as an Economist at Macquarie Bank. Immediately prior to joining Frontier, Philip was the Economic Advisor to the Treasurer of the Northern Territory.
Philip holds a Bachelor of Business (Honours) in Economics and Finance from RMIT University along with a Master of Public Administration (MPA) in Economic Policy Management from Columbia University in New York. He is also a CFA Charterholder.
“It's an exciting time for Spirit Super as it looks to undertake another merger, this time with CareSuper. Leaving Frontier was a hard, hard decision to make because I've really loved my time there, working with so many great clients," Phil remarked.
Phil will commence in his new role with Spirit Super in April 2023.
We wish Phil all the best in his new role and continued success to the team at Spirit Super.
