Super Returns! Australia’s Largest Super Fund’s CIO, Mark Delaney, Describes Their Investment Priorities
Mark describes the goals, organisation and investment principles of AustralianSuper. AustralianSuper is the country's largest pension fund, with approximately USD $230bn* in AUM.
Today we travel back to Melbourne, Australia, having had previous conversations with Ben Samild (now CIO of the AFF) & David Neal CEO of IFM, the infrastructure powerhouse.
AustralianSuper, Australia’s largest super fund, manages circa. USD $230bn*, and Mark Delaney has been at its helm as CIO for almost 20 years.
Mark describes the goals, the organisation and its investment principles. He explains why Australia consolidated its pension industry and the benefits it has reaped for pensioners and the economy.
He discusses approaching global equities, why infrastructure is the “ballast in the boat”, his favourable view of private equity, why he likes active over passive, how he accesses commodity exposure, and why you can’t worry about the markets when he’s on his surfboard trying to catch a wave!
