Mint Team Update

Anthony Halls is stepping down from his role as Chief Investment Officer at Mint on the 31st of August and will take an extended period out of the industry, due to a medical incident in his family. Anthony has been an integral member of the Mint investment team for the last nine years, and he is retaining a shareholding in Mint via the Amplifi Group.

Rebecca Thomas, Chief Executive Officer says “While we are very sad to see Anthony leave Mint, we wholeheartedly support his difficult decision to step down. He leaves the investment team in very good shape and, in a testament to Mint’s team approach and depth, the wider investment team will pick up Anthony’s responsibilities seamlessly.”

We are delighted to advise of the appointment of Michael Kenealy as Portfolio Manager of the Mint Australasian Property Fund, previously led by Anthony. Michael joined Mint in January of this year as a Senior Analyst and has brought a highly analytical and energetic approach to the group. He has worked closely with the rest of the Mint investment team in taking research ownership of the Property sector and co-managing the Fund. From the 1st of September, Michael will become the Portfolio Manager for the Mint Australasian Property Fund as well as Mint’s lead analyst for the property sector.

Rebecca says “Michael has a deep and abiding passion for investing. We are thrilled to apply his motivation and experience to the benefit of our Australasian Property Fund and the Investment team.”

We are also pleased that Ryan Falls is joining the Mint Investment team as a Senior Analyst. Ryan joins the team after a targeted search for someone with his rare combination of skills, adding to Mints resources in asset class risk modelling, interest rates and inflation strategies, and econometric analysis. As already planned in growing the investment team this year, we are currently seeking an additional analyst to join the Australasian Equity team and enhance their capability and capacity.

These staff changes follow the recent announcement of appointing Tracey Cross as an Independent Director and Chair of the Audit, Risk, and Compliance Committee.
