Craigs appoints Head of Investment Strategy Group

Alice Mew is Head of Craigs recently formed Investment Strategy Group (ISG). She joins Craigs from the New Zealand Superannuation Fund, where she most recently served as Director, External Investments and Partnerships, overseeing $16 billion of private market investments.

“We’re delighted to have someone of Alice’s experience and calibre leading a function that’s integral to client delivery at Craigs. Her leadership, investment expertise, and collaborative approach will be invaluable in achieving our overriding objective of delivering great outcomes for clients,” says Jeremy Williamson, Craigs’ Head of Private Wealth and Markets.

Mew’s appointment is the latest in a series of advances in the firm’s investment strategy approach. Earlier this year, ISG was formed as a ‘centre of investment excellence’ within Craigs. ISG brings together one of New Zealand’s largest private wealth research teams with research-adjacent functions to form a single, integrated team focused on wealth strategy and investment solutions.

It combines dedicated expertise in New Zealand and international fixed income, equities, funds, sustainability and alternatives research – backed by global partnerships including J.P. Morgan Asset Management and a recently established multi-year research partnership with US-based financial services firm Raymond James.
