Legalsuper has lost another senior investment executive with listed assets manager Paul Crisci departing the $7.5 billion fund on 26 March.

Crisci oversaw the fund’s public markets strategy and portfolios, which account for roughly 75 per cent of total assets – making his exit notable for a fund that already operates with a lean investment team.

The super fund dedicated to Australian legal professionals confirmed that Crisci had left the organisation and said it “wishes him all the best for the future”.

His exit adds to a period of heightened turnover at the fund. Chief executive Luke Symons is preparing to leave for Equip Super, while investment chief Andrew Lill is set to join Andrew and Nicola Forrest’s Minderoo Foundation in the same role.

The changes follow a broader reshaping of legalsuper’s executive ranks earlier this year.

In February, the super fund reintroduced the chief operating officer role, elevating executive manager of business enablement John Robinson to the role. It also reinstated a chief member role that had been vacant since mid-2024, appointing Jean-Luc Ambrosi on an interim basis.

The appointments followed a restructuring that saw the departure of both chief commercial officer Colin Adamson and chief marketing officer Louise Eyres a few months earlier,

As for Crisci, he landed at legalsuper two years ago having spent five years at Insignia Financial as a portfolio manager and over 17 years with Funds SA, managing the equities book.

Nicholas Thomas continues to oversee legalsuper’s unlisted assets, having joined in 2024 as a contract portfolio manager.

He previously worked at ESSSuper, Frontier Advisors, Lonsec and Russell Investments.
