Senior equity manager exits Cbus Super

A Cbus Super executive in charge of equity manager research and selection has departed the $85 billion industry fund that serves construction and building workers.

Anna Weickart confirmed her role was made redundant.

Weickart joined Cbus as a senior investment analyst in July 2016 within the public markets team.

After six months, she was promoted to senior portfolio manager of equities.

In December 2022, Cbus Super made five new appointments as part of its strategy to bring investments in-house and build a strong internal investment capability.

Weickart then stepped into a newly created role of managing Cbus Super's then expanding equities manager research program.

Before joining the superannuation fund, Weickart spent seven years as a senior investment consultant at Willis Towers Watson for manager research.

She started her investment career at Ipac Securities where she worked for eleven years as an investment analyst.

Currently Juan Dosio remains in the equity manager selection team team.

He arrived at Cbus Super five months ago from AustralianSuper.
