The director of group risk at Industry Fund Services Insurance Broking, Greg Staunton, has left the firm to take a senior position at a major superannuation fund and former client.

Staunton will start at AustralianSuper on December 5, in the role of senior insurance manager.

At IFSIB, Staunton was responsible for a team that provided consulting services to superannuation funds, including AustralianSuper. The team gave advice on contract reviews, tender management, service management, and pricing, and conducted performance monitoring for life and disability insurance contracts.

Prior to IFSIB, Staunton spent 11 years working at Australian life insurance companies AXA and AMP.

At AustralianSuper, Staunton will report to general manager of insurance, Noel Lacey.

Lacey is also relatively new to his position; a few months ago he swapped roles with the previous GM of insurance, Greg Palmer, who is now fulfilling Lacey’s old role as the GM of administration.

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.
