Aware Super on hunt for new chief investment officer

May 19, 2025

Aware Super chief investment officer Damian Graham is transitioning to a new role, with the fund now conducting a global search for his replacement.

- Jamie Williamson

Graham will relocate to the fund's London office to take on the role of head of international at the end of the year.

Aware Super said the decision was informed in part by Graham's desire to transition into retirement.

The head of international role is currently held by Damien Webb, who is returning to Sydney later this year as planned; he doubles as deputy chief investment officer.

Graham has served as chief investment officer for 12 years, including four years at First State Super before the merger with VicSuper to create Aware Super. Prior, he was chief investment officer of StatePlus, which was rebranded in 2015 from State Super Financial Services, for five years.
