Insight Investment grows Australian team to meet insto demand

Global asset manager, Insight Investment, has met a spike in insitutional investor appetite for tailored fixed income opportunities and risk management solutions with the appointment of David Lee as Business Development Associate.

Lee joins Insight Investment’s Australia-based business development team at the same time as the firm records 85 per cent growth in its local assets under management (AUM) to AUD$69 billion since December 2023, as of 30 June 2025.

Lee brings just under five years of investment experience in the superannuation industry, having held roles previously at Qantas Super and Commonwealth Superannuation Corporation.

Amy Clements, Head of Distribution, Australia and New Zealand, said the appointment comes as the firm records increased demand from a variety of institutional clients including superannuation funds, family offices and private wealth firms for “ophisticated and tailored strategies to strengthen resilience and capture long-term opportunities”.

“Asset owners are seeking strategies that span fixed income, risk-managed overlays and outcome-oriented portfolios,” she said.

“Insight is known for building close and cooperative partnerships with clients. David’s appointment reinforces Insight’s role as a leading partner in delivering institutional-grade fixed income and risk management solutions.

“His technical expertise and markets experience will help support the evolving needs of asset owners and enhance our ability to meet this rising demand.”
