Holzberger to retire from QSuper

QSuper chief investment officer, Brad Holzberger, today announced his intention to retire at the end of September 2019, with the fund commencing a global search for his replacement.

Holzberger, who made the announcement at QSuper’s annual investment update today, had led the fund’s investment team since 2009, directly overseeing the management of over $80 billion in funds.

“There is no overstating the role Brad has played in QSuper becoming one of the largest, most trusted funds in the country,” QSuper chief executive, Michael Pennisi, said.

“In addition to building our in-house investment team from the ground up, Brad’s experience, foresight and genuine care about the retirement outcomes of each and every member formed the cornerstone of what is now our trademark investment philosophy – to provide members with strong, consistent returns over their working lives and into retirement.”
