Challenger appoints Minney to new position
Challenger Limited has appointed Aaron Minney to the newly created position of head of retirement income research. Minney will report directly to Challenger's chairman, retirement income, Jeremy Cooper, and the new role will extend the company's research and analysis capabilities specific to that sector.
Commenting on the appointment, Cooper said, "We are delighted to appoint an experienced investment strategist to help strengthen and grow the existing retirement income team. Aaron's appointment supports our thought leadership ambitions in the retirement income market, which is becoming increasingly important as the first wave of baby boomers start moving into retirement this year."
Minney will commence his new role at Challenger today, and joins the firm from Colonial First State Global Asset Management, where he was head of investment research and development. He has previously held portfolio management roles as head of Australian fixed interest at Macquarie Funds Management and as a senior portfolio strategist at Insurance Australia Group.
Minney will be responsible for generating additional research in the areas of decumulation, portfolio construction, investment strategy, retirement risk mitigation, new product solutions, and policy support.
