VFMC names head of portfolio strategy

Victorian Funds Management Corporation (VFMC) has appointed KC Low as its head of portfolio strategy and asset allocation on a permanent basis.

KC took over the role for an interim term in July last year following the departure of VFMC's head of portfolio strategy and asset allocation Leanne Taylor. He has been working as a senior portfolio manager at VFMC since April 2024.

"Very grateful to all the support and guidance from within VFMC and beyond. I look forward to continuing to contribute positively to VFMC's investment performance," Low said in a LinkedIn post.

Prior to joining VFMC, KC had a 12-year career at Frontier Advisors, where he most recently held the position of principal consultant in the capital markets and asset allocation team.

His responsibilities at Frontier included providing analytical support to clients, asset allocation advice, and investment research.

Prior to Frontier Advisors, he was with Fairfax Media conducting research and valuation of asset classes and high-net-worth individuals.

VFMC recently also appointed Maree Squillacioti as the head of people, acting in the role for close to 12 months before taking over it permanently.

It also named Jeff Phillips as its chief finance and risk officer, who served in the chief financial officer role at Bennelong Funds Management for close to 14 years.
