Stephen Lam’s new role within the merged Suncorp group will include hands-on responsibility for the $1.6 billion international equities portfolio.
Lam, previously the general manager of investment management at a pre-merger Suncorp, has been anointed as general manager of investment strategy & operations following the absorption of the Tyndall Investments business. The group’s new general manager of asset management, Brett Himbury, said Lam would relocate from Brisbane to Sydney in a role which will include management of the outsourced international equity portfolio, and provision of strategic asset allocation advice to the internal managers of parent Asteron’s insurance statutory funds – the majority of the group’s $27 billion under management. The development of new products, and oversight of the middle office, will also be in Lam’s remit.
Asset owners that have set emission reduction targets face the onerous task of collecting and aggregating emissions data for every asset they own, and the challenge has been particularly complex for unlisted assets. Aware Super head of responsible investment Liza McDonald says working with the provider of the infrastructure that connects asset owners to asset managers and underlying assets has been “a brilliant step”.
