AustralianSuper has strengthened its global investment team with several new hires as the Fund positions itself to identify new international opportunities to generate the best possible long-term returns for members.
Head of Equities Innes McKeand has relocated to AustralianSuper’s London office as the Fund continues to build out a global investment team in London and New York.
Mr McKeand joins Damian Moloney, Head of Investments, International as the second member of the Investments leadership team to be located in London.
Mr McKeand will continue his role advising on the development and implementation of a comprehensive strategy for the construction and management of the Fund’s $100 billion equities portfolio.
He will also play a key role in the establishment and management of the Fund’s New York office, and the overall growth of the Fund’s international operations, reflecting the truly global nature of the Fund’s investment portfolio.
‘Growing our offices in London and New York is a great opportunity for AustralianSuper to access some of the best talent internationally and to continue to develop a globally elite investment team across some of the world’s most important capital markets,’ Mr McKeand said.
As a result of Mr McKeand moving to the London office, Justin Pascoe has been appointed Deputy Head of Equities and will take on the additional responsibility for day-to-day leadership of the team in Australia, working closely with Mr McKeand as the Fund continues to grow its global footprint.
AustralianSuper has also appointed Paul Clark as Senior Investment Director, Property, in London. Mr Clark will be responsible for Australian Super’s real estate investment activities in the UK and Europe.

Philippe Lenoble has also joined the London team as Senior Investment Director, Infrastructure. Mr Lenoble’s experience spans infrastructure financing and investing over two decades. Mr Lenoble will be responsible for AustralianSuper’s infrastructure investment activities in the UK and Europe.
