Cbus appoints Investment Manager - ESG

Nicole Bradford has been appointed to the investment team at Cbus as investment manager - ESG. Bradford's appointment follows the departure of Louise Davidson who left the $31b industry fund earlier in the year to take up the role of CEO of the Australian Council of Superannuation Investors (ACSI).

Bradford previously worked with GE Capital - Asia Pacific as environmental and social risk leader. She also actively represented GE Capital in working groups and forums such as the World Resources Institute and the Environmental Bankers Association.

Commenting on Bradford's appointment, Kristian Fok, executive manager - investment strategy said: "We are delighted to have someone of Nicole's calibre joining the Cbus investment team. Nicole's international and direct ESG investing experience will be a great asset for Cbus as we ramp up our own company research and direct engagement program."

Bradford said: "I believe the finance industry can, and should, play a key role with integrating sustainability into business practices throughout the economy. I'm looking forward to working for a dynamic and innovative fund such as Cbus to help promote good governance and sustainability across a large portfolio."
