Phoebe Mao
Investment Strategy & Overlays Manager,
Telstra Super
Recently joining Telstra Super’s investment strategy team, Phoebe is responsible for supporting the implementation of the fund’s asset allocation through rebalancing, derivative overlay execution and portfolio construction. She works closely with internal stakeholders to ensure that strategic investment decisions are effectively translated into actionable total portfolio outcomes.
In addition, Phoebe contributes to the team’s macroeconomic research and analysis, providing insights that inform strategic and dynamic asset allocation, as well as risk management decisions. Her role bridges the gap between high-level investment thinking and operational execution, helping to ensure the fund remains agile, resilient, and aligned with its long-term objectives.
Prior to her current role, Phoebe led the fund’s unit pricing oversight, performance & risk analytics function within the investment operations team, where she focused on delivering robust investment data governance and operational insights.
Phoebe holds a Master of Applied Finance and a Bachelor of Accounting. Outside of strategy implementation and navigating complex scenarios, she enjoys discovering hidden gems in Melbourne’s coffee scene, perfecting the art of homemade dumplings, and immersing herself in the performing arts. She believes that, much like a strong portfolio, a fulfilling life thrives on balance and creativity.
