Cbus Super Fund

A great opportunity to be an integral part of the leadership team in Member Performance at Cbus.

Here is part II of my conversation with Brett Chatfield and Justin Pascoe of Cbus Super Fund, talking about introducing relative value into the dynamic asset allocation process #investment #superannuation Gerry Costigan

Cbus is pleased to welcome back Jason O'Mara and to welcome Paddy Crumlin and Lucy Weber to our board as member directors. This comes as all existing and new directors on the Cbus Super board have satisfied an independent ‘fit and proper persons test’. Jason O’Mara has extensive experience in super fund governance, tax and financial reporting. Jason rejoins the Cbus board having previously served between January 2022 and August 2024. Before he was an advocate for workers’ entitlements, Jason was a commercial builder and is currently the General Manager of operations at the Canberra Tradesman Union Club. As a senior qualified lawyer, Lucy Weber brings extensive legal expertise and has over seventeen years’ experience practicing law in the private and not-for-profit sectors with comprehensive knowledge of insurance and industrial law. Lucy is currently the Director of Legal and Industrial programs in the national office of the CFMEU. In addition to his ongoing advocacy for working people, Paddy Crumlin has built up extensive skills and experience oversighting contemporary investment and asset management strategies of pension funds, ESG, responsible investment, and fund regulation. Paddy is currently the National President of the CFMEU. Maintaining equal employer and union representation has been central to our success over forty years so we’re happy to welcome Jason back and look forward to Lucy and Paddy bringing their knowledge of our sectors to achieve the best possible retirement outcomes and meet the challenges of rapid growth.
