NZ Super Picks Internal Candidates as New Co-CIOs – Chief Investment Officer

The Guardians of New Zealand Superannuation, the entity which manages the NZ$80.1 billion ($48.49 billion) New Zealand sovereign wealth fund, announced Tuesday the promotions of Brad Dunstan and Will Goodwin to co-CIO, effective December 2.  
The duo succeeds Stephen Gilmore, who left the fund in June to take on the role of CIO at the California Public Employees’ Retirement System. Alex Bacchus, previously head of strategic tilting, will remain acting CIO until the appointments of Dunstan and Goodwin are effective.  
Dunstan joined the fund in 2013 as head of portfolio completion and is currently the funds acting general manager of portfolio completion. Goodwin is currently head of direct investments and was previously head of the fund’s New Zealand direct investments.  
“Taking into account the projected future growth of the Fund and the increasingly complex and challenging investment environment in which we are operating, it makes sense to combine the functions of the CIO and the GM Portfolio Completion and create a co-CIO model,” said Jo Townsend, NZ Super’s CEO, in a statement.
