Rest appoints head of CIO office

Rest has named a new head of chief investment officer (CIO) office, supporting chief investment officer Michael Clancy.

Rest has appointed Andy Moser as its new head of CIO office.

Clancy said Moser will support the development and execution of the investments team's business plan and manage a range of team-wide functions.

"Andy brings deep expertise, a practical mindset and a collaborative leadership style that will be essential as we evolve our investments function to continue delivering strong outcomes for our two million members," Clancy said.

"Andy combines strategic financial leadership with disciplined execution, strong governance and collaborative stakeholder engagement. He will make a valuable contribution to Rest and our members."

Prior to joining Rest, Moser worked at the Qantas Superannuation Fund for over 12 years in various roles including chief financial officer, head of finance and investment operations and head of finance.

"I'm looking forward to working with Michael Clancy and the broader Investments team to support the delivery of Rest's investment business plan and continue delivering strong outcomes for members," Moser said in a LinkedIn post.

This marks the second notable appointment in as many months for the $105 billion super fund, having appointed Marina Pasika as head of private markets in May.

Pasika had been serving in the role in an acting capacity since October 2025, stepping up after Simon Esposito left the fund for a role at buyout firm CVC Capital Partners. At the time, he also held the role of deputy chief investment officer.

Pasika has been with the fund since 2020 working across private equity and the broader alternatives portfolio. She served as head of private equity and head of growth alternatives.

Previously, she worked in private equity at Future Fund for close to a decade.
