Big changes at QIC's liquid markets group

Beverley Morris has officially been appointed head of Queensland Investment Corporation's Liquid Markets Group.

Morris, QIC's director of fixed income, replaces Susan Buckley who announced in September that she would leave the fund after 21 years.

Morris will now lead the team providing holistic solutions across fixed-income and liquid markets.

She has been with the Queensland state government investor for 20 years, joining from the Bank of England, where she worked as an economist.

Before that, in 1997, she was an economist at the Queensland Treasury.

Meanwhile, Alison Towers QIC's director of global liquid markets trading will lead the implementation group as director of implementation services.

She will form part of Morris' leadership team, which includes the heads of liquid market strategies.

QIC has also seen a departure.

Scott Rissman, a director within the liquid markets group has left to pursue new opportunities.

Rissman had been at QIC for 19 years, moving across from Macquarie Group, where he managed risk and product control.

Earlier he worked for UBS, ABN AMRO and HSBC.
