“It has been a privilege working for Guardians of New Zealand Superannuation investing for future generations of New Zealanders. I am looking forward to joining one of Aotearoa’s largest and most experienced investment teams and helping many more Kiwis with their investment goals,” Mr Crosby said.

ANZ NZ managing director for funds management Fiona Mackenzie said “this is an exciting time for George to join ANZ Investments as we continue to explore possible global partnerships that will position us for growth as New Zealand’s largest KiwiSaver provider.

“George’s extensive investment and leadership experience, including 15 years with the Guardians of New Zealand Superannuation, through the development of their world leading investment approach as well as establishing their portfolio investments team, will be a superb addition to our investment management team,” she said.
