AustralianSuper’s Ian Silk has retired from the Australian Superannuation Funds of Australia (ASFA) board of directors.
He has been replaced by David Atkin of Cbus. Silk decided to step down after nine years as an industry funds representative on the ASFA board, and ASFA chief executive Pauline Vamos lauded him as an enthusiastic and energetic supporter of the industry.
“While we are sad to lose someone of the calibre of Ian because of his extraordinary workload, we are very pleased that David has accepted the board’s nomination,” said Vamos.
She said Atkin’s expertise in the areas of ESG (environmental, social and governance) and infrastructure investment was important because both are significant and ongoing issues for the superannuation industry.
Atkin is on United Nations Principles of Responsible Investments global board, one of just 13 members worldwide.
Chief executive of Qantas Superannuation, Janet Torney, will replace Silk as chair of the Policy Committee.
