The head of investment services for the $25 billion QSuper has left for academia after less than a year at the fund, and taken his 2IC with him.

Michael Drew, who provided technical and strategic advice for QSuper on the investment program implemented by QIC, only joined the public sector fund late last year but has now departed for Brisbane’s Griffith University where he will be an Associate Professor of Finance.

Drew’s assistant, Adam Walk, has left as well. It is understood Walk will work in Drew’s office at the University while undertaking PhD studies.

The immediate replacement for Drew is Philip Greenheld, but it is not known whether this is permanent.

QSuper chief executive, Rosemary Vilgan, was unavailable for comment.

Rest Super’s selective approach to PE pays off as program comes of age

Rest Super has built its private equity program around a deliberately selective approach to manager and deal selection, favouring a concentrated roster of external partners and proactively seeking out top PE firms rather than waiting for them to come knocking. Head of private markets Marina Pasika unpacks the program’s coming of age and what powered an asset class return more than double the peer average in the last financial year.
