Cbus Super names former CIO Kristian Fok as its new chief.
Cbus Super has appointed its Chief Investment Officer (CIO) Kristian Fok as its new Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Fok had been Acting CEO since the retirement of Justin Arter in May.
As CIO, Kristian led the development and implementation of Cbus’ hybrid internalisation strategy, which has seen the management of 38 per cent of the fund’s assets brought in-house and total cumulative costs savings for members of over $500 million.
“Kristian has put Cbus’ investment team at the leading edge of pension funds around the world and we are excited that he will now devote his considerable abilities to the wider leadership of the fund,” Wayne Swan, Chair of Cbus Super, said in a media release.
“He innately understands the fund, its heritage, and our connection to the built environment sector.
The fund also appointed Marianne Walker as Deputy CEO.
Walker has been a Cbus executive since 2019 and is also the fund’s Chief Member Officer. She joined the fund from Victoria’s Department of Health and Human Services, where she had been Executive Director of Customer Support.
