MARK BURGESS

摘要

Managing director and president of Australia's Future Fund, Mark Burgess leads a dynamic sovereign wealth fund with A$82.4 billion ($85.1 billion) in assets and a reputation for savvy risk management. Launched in May 2006 with just A$ 18 billion, Future Fund-which kept most of its assets in cash during the financial crisis-went on to build a highly integrated, risk-weighted portfolio of investments. Under the guidance of founding CIO David Neal, it also broke with SWF tradition by challenging its staff to look beyond their particular areas of expertise and think about risk and return across the total portfolio.The result: an innovative organization known for its flexible investment style and its ability to deploy assets throughout diverse sectors and geographies.
