The Future Fund appoints Hugh Murray as a deputy CIO

Australia’s sovereign wealth fund, The Future Fund, has appointed Hugh Murray as its second deputy chief investment officer. Murray will join the other current deputy CIO, Alicia Gregory, and will work on the team led by CIO Ben Samild.

While Murray will focus on dynamic asset allocation, strategic opportunities and integration, overlays and Treasury and economics and capital markets, Gregory will focus on alternatives, listed equities and credit and private equity.

Before the announcement, Murray had been acting in the deputy CIO position that Ben Samild had left open in August, when Samild was made CIO. Prior to that appointment, Murray served as head of overlays at The Future Fund.
