In the Media

Paul Kessell, Chief Investment Officer

Paul Kessell, Chief Investment Officer for Professional Associations Super, has written a discussion piece for Investment & Technology magazine. In this month's issue, the article discusses how the size of a superannuation fund is not necessarily an indicator of investment performance.

Paul heads up the investment team for Professional Associations Super, of which Accountants Super is a division. The team is responsible for management of the Fund's assets and providing strategic investment advice to the Fund's Investment Committee and Board.
