First Super appoints Michael McQueen as Head of Investments
First Super is pleased to announce the appointment of Michael McQueen as Head of Investments, commencing 1 July 2026.
Michael steps into the role currently filled in the interim by Chris Artis, following the resignation of CEO Bill Watson in early January.
First Super’s acting CEO, Greg Everett, says Michael’s appointment comes at an important time for the fund.
"Michael brings a rare combination of deep investment expertise, strong governance discipline and a proven ability to build high-performing teams. His experience across asset allocation, portfolio design and investment stewardship positions him to drive our investment strategy forward and deliver long-term value for members.”
Michael joins the fund having held senior investment roles at other industry superannuation funds, including Prime Super and Media Super, where he was responsible for investment strategy and operations, including investment governance.
In accepting the role, Michael says he is looking forward to helping the Fund strengthen its investment capability.
"First Super has built a solid investment foundation and I’m looking forward to working with the team. As financial markets become increasingly complex, a disciplined approach is critical to ensure we deliver competitive outcomes to members."
