AustralianSuper appointed Andrew Mantello, a senior executive on its 30-member group risk team, as the fund's new chief risk officer, according to an announcement Tuesday from the A$233 billion ($169 billion) Melbourne-based superannuation fund.
Mr. Mantello replaces Paul Schroder after Mr. Schroder was named chief executive of the fund in July.
Mr. Mantello's previous role on AustralianSuper's group risk team was as head of emergent risks, providing "fund-wide strategic guidance on the future risk landscape as well as leading the fund's work on understanding and measuring risk culture," the news release said.
An AustralianSuper spokesman said the fund will announce a new head of emergent risk "at some stage."
