Aon Consulting has appointed Peter Lewis as head of product for its $1.6 billion master trust.
Lewis has over 20 years experience in superannuation, having held senior positions at ANZ, MLC and most recently AMP, where he was national manager of strategic products. Lewis replaces Jenny Ward who has departed after two and a half years. Head of employee benefit solutions at Aon, Steve Gaffney, said Lewis’ understanding of the needs of superannuation clients and the industry would be a huge asset to the Aon Master Trust.
There is one investment area where Insignia’s $180 billion super arm has not lost money for the past 17 years, which is what it calls the insurance-related investments. The alternatives strategy is gaining popularity among asset owners due to its diversification benefit, but Insignia’s super and asset management investment chief Dan Farmer warns it is a space where investors can suffer if they “stumble in without doing the homework”.
