Third Link Growth Fund expands Investment Committee with experienced industry leader
David Wright
The Third Link Growth Fund is pleased to announce the appointment of David Wright to its Investment Committee, where he joins Chris Cuffe and Jason Coggins, further strengthening the Fund’s governance and investment oversight capabilities to ensure disciplined decision making.
Managed and founded by Chris Cuffe AO, the Fund stands out as a unique Australian equities fund-of-funds designed to generate strong, long term investment returns while channelling profits toward meaningful community outcomes. Employing an active multi-manager approach, the Fund invests with a line up of high quality Australian equity managers to optimise performance and diversify exposure across market segments.
David Wright brings more than 30 years of financial services experience in investment research and consulting. For the past 23 years, he was Co-Founder of Zenith Investment Partners, where he served as CEO and Investment Director. During his tenure, Zenith became one of Australia’s leading investment research and ratings firms, supporting advisers, institutions, and asset managers with investment insights and fund research.
Jason Coggins joined the Third Link investment committee in June 2025 and has more than 20 years of experience in financial services, spanning banking, private wealth, and asset consultancy.
Together with Chris Cuffe they will challenge the current investment thinking and ensure disciplined decision making.
“David’s breadth of experience and proven track record in investment research and consulting makes him a valuable addition to the Investment Committee. His insights and critical thinking will enhance our ability to deliver strong outcomes for our investors,” says Cuffe.
“The Third Link fund invests in underlying active managers who are purposefully attempting to beat their various indexes by really considering their capital allocations, rather than simply investing based on the market cap size.
“With the ongoing market uncertainty, many would say active managers have been hit hard in the last few months. However, I have seen similar market environments come and go. I believe active managers, particularly in Australian equities, do prevail as volatile periods subside,” Cuffe adds.
With approximately $140 million in funds under management, Third Link’s multi-manager Australian Equities Fund of Funds has been running for over 17 years and has delivered 8.9% per annum (net) since February 2012*.
