Annuitas Management Limited (AML) has appointed Anthony Halls as its chief investment officer and Holly Marshall as senior responsible investment strategist.

AML is a joint venture company set up by the Government Superannuation Fund Authority (GSFA) and the board of Trustees of the National Provident Fund (NPF) to manage their respective schemes and investment portfolios.

“Anthony Halls is a highly experienced and well-regarded investment professional, and we’re really delighted that we’ve been able to attract someone of his calibre,” AML chief executive Tim Mitchell says.

“Holly Marshall brings strong responsible investment credentials and we’re looking forward to her helping us rise to the challenge of more deeply integrating ESG considerations, particularly responding to the climate challenge, into our investment processes.”

Halls was formerly the chief investment officer, and a senior portfolio manager, at Mint Asset Management. Prior to Mint, Halls spent five years at the New Zealand Super Fund. His earlier career saw stints at BT Funds Management and National Australia Bank.

Marshall was formerly responsible investment strategist at Kiwi Wealth where she led oversight and execution of the firm’s responsible investment policies. Prior to joining Kiwi Wealth she spent several years in London and New York including six years with UBS.

The GSFA is an autonomous Crown entity. The fund has $5 billion in assets under management and more than 48,500 contributors, annuitants, and deferred pensioners as at June 30, 2022.

The NPF is trustee of eight superannuation schemes with total assets of $1.6 billion. There are 13,500 active contributors and pensioners in the schemes as at March 31, 2023.
