JANA Investment Advisers (JANA) has been appointed as the Implemented Consultant for TasBuild, who is responsible for managing the portable long service leave entitlements on behalf of workers in the building and construction industry in Tasmania.

TasBuild will benefit from JANA’s specialist liability-aware consulting capabilities, including actuarial expertise and asset-liability modelling to support investment decision making. This is particularly relevant for long service leave funds and redundancy trusts targeting specific funding ratios in an environment of market volatility and governance complexity.

JANA will provide holistic investment advice, portfolio construction and implementation services that support the long-term sustainability of the Fund.

The mandate underscores JANA’s continued growth, reflecting continued demand from statutory and purpose-led organisations for long-term, outcome-focused investment partnerships supported by deep institutional expertise and implementation capabilities.

Sai Srinivasan, Head of Client Development at JANA said: “We are delighted to be appointed as TasBuild’s investment consultant. TasBuild plays a critical role in supporting workers in the Tasmanian construction industry, and we are proud to partner with an organisation so deeply aligned to the wellbeing of workers across the state.”

JANA brings together advisory expertise and execution capability, helping liability-aware funds like TasBuild make confident investment decisions and deliver resilient, long-term outcomes for members.

Mark Williams, Chief Executive Officer of TasBuild said: “Our engagement with JANA has reinforced the strong cultural alignment between our organisations – particularly our shared commitment to disciplined governance, thoughtful investment strategy and long-term outcomes. We are confident JANA’s deep institutional experience will support TasBuild in continuing to deliver strong, resilient outcomes for our members.”

The appointment builds on JANA’s track record of supporting a range of clients across superannuation, endowments, insurers and statutory funds with strategic, long-term investment solutions.
