Industry veteran joins LGIAsuper board

Queensland-based superannuation fund, LGIAsuper, has appointed Ron Dewhurst as an independent board director.

Dewhurst, who currently chairs a number of listed and unlisted companies, including OneVue Holdings and Rhinomed Ltd, replaces John Wilson who resigned from the $11 billion fund in February 2018.

In welcoming Dewhurst, LGIAsuper chair, John Smith, said: "A cornerstone of our investment strategy is to seek out innovative, long-life assets across the globe. Mr Dewhurst's experience in global investment banking and asset management will strengthen the Board's ability to generate strong returns for our members, while managing risk appropriately".

The LGIAsuper board has equal representation of member-elected, employer-nominated and independent directors, including an independent chair.
