Colonial First State Global Asset Management (CFSGAM) has today announced the appointment of Mr Angus McNaughton as
Managing Director of CFSGAM Property with immediate effect following the resignation of Mr Darren Steinberg. Mr
Steinberg has decided to take up a role external to the business.
Mr McNaughton previously held the position of Head of Wholesale Property Funds at CFSGAM Property and will retain
responsibility for driving the long-term strategy and performance across the wholesale property business. He has been
employed at CFSGAM for more than 17 years including being Chief Executive of the Top 10 New Zealand listed diversified
Kiwi Income Property Trust (‘KIP’).
Mark Lazberger, Chief Executive Officer of CFSGAM said: “This appointment highlights that we have substantial depth of
talent within our business and underscores our commitment, when it is appropriate, to appoint from within. Angus brings
a significant depth of knowledge to the role including experience in funds management, asset management and development,
and has worked for the business in Australia, Singapore and New Zealand.”
CFSGAM Property has a strong and experienced management team in place. The business has responsibility for approximately
AUD$18 billion of funds under management and consists of more than 850 individual people that contribute to driving the
performance and income generated from each and every asset.
Mr Lazberger said: “The Fund Managers involved in the management of our listed and unlisted property funds remain
focussed and committed to maximising returns for investors. We have significant talent within the broader team, with one
of the finest asset management businesses led by David Marcun and real talent in managing our listed funds through the
leadership of Michael Gorman (Fund Manager of CFX), Charles Moore (Fund Manager of CPA) and Chris Gudgeon (Chief
Executive of KIP).”
“I would like to thank Darren for his dedication and valuable contribution to the Property business over the past five
years”, Mr Lazberger added.
Mr Steinberg has relinquished his role as Principal Executive Officer of Commonwealth Managed Investments Limited and
has also stepped down as an Executive Director of Kiwi Income Properties Limited, the Manager of KIP.
It is business as usual at CFSGAM Property and there are no further management changes. ENDS C
