As an industry superannuation fund, we focus on delivering exceptional outcomes for our members'.
Our culture is built around collaboration, support, and innovation, and we are now looking for a highly skilled and experienced Investment Analyst to join our team and contribute to our continued success.
About the Role
We recently merged with Active Super to become a $30 billion superannuation Fund with strong medium-term performance.
The merger has resulted in a doubling in size of the Fund, which has created new opportunities in the investment team.
Reflecting this, we are looking to recruit an Investment Analyst.
This role will support the Investment team, across a wide range of investment functions.
Importantly, it will provide considerable opportunity to enhance investment knowledge and skills through working closely with experienced investment professionals on interesting investment issues.
What You'll Be Doing
Contributing to the analysis of the investment outlook that underpins the Dynamic Asset Allocation (DAA) positioning of the Fund's investment options.
This includes assisting in determining the outlook for key liquid asset classes such as Australian Equities, International Equities, Diversified Bonds and Cash.

Contributing to the DAA Reviews that are considered by the Internal Investment Committee (IIC) and the Investment Committee (IC) on a regular basis.
Helping to design alternative scenarios for the investment outlook.
Further developing and maintaining DAA chart packs.
DAA-related investment research aimed at benefitting the performance of the portfolio.

Drafting and reviewing sections of IIC and IC papers.
Presenting aspects of investment papers at IIC meetings in an informative and persuasive manner.
Contributing to Responsible Investment activities, such as proxy voting, carbon reporting, and exclusions reporting.
Periodically providing well-considered suggestions on how the team can improve its ways of working
Performing operational tasks as required, noting that these will not be a major component of the role.

Two or more years of direct experience in the superannuation and/or investment management industries is preferred but not essential.
Well-developed quantitative skills and a strong ability in using quantitative analysis to support decision making.
Strong technical skills in Excel are essential, and the ability to use Power BI is advantageous.
Strong self-organisation and time management skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities effectively.
High attention to detail and a commitment to delivering accurate, high-quality work.
Clear and effective verbal and written communication skills.
Tertiary qualifications in fields such as finance, economics, or actuarial studies are preferred.
