Mercer's Burke moves to Certitude
Certitude Global Investments has created a new position within its senior ranks, with former Mercer executive Gary Burke (pictured) to head investments.
Burke had previously headed Mercer’s investment management business in Australia and New Zealand where he was responsible for $18 billion in assets.
His move to Certitude followed the company’s exclusive partnership with fund manager Threadneedle Investments.
In his new role, Burke would help interpret investment information from Threadneedle, Marshall Wace GaveKal and Lighthouse Investments Partners to assist Certitude’s client base.
He had spent 25 years in the financial services industry, having performed senior roles for Rothschild, Deutsche Funds management and Zurich Scudder.
Certitude has also appointed investment adviser Chris Condon to its investment committee, who will take on a non-executive role.
Condon is the principal of advisory firm Chris Condon Financial Services and was previously chief investment officer at MLC Investment Management.
