Sai Srinivasan

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.

Oscar Lonergan

JANA Investment Advisers (‘JANA’) is pleased to announce the appointment of Oscar Lonergan as Senior Client Development Director.

JANA supports a broad range of institutional clients across superannuation, wealth, not-for-profits, insurance and other sectors. Oscar’s appointment strengthens JANA’s support for not-for-profit (NFP) and liability-aware investors seeking an institutional-quality consultant or investment implementation partner.

Reporting to Sai Srinivasan, Head of Client Development, Oscar will focus on partnering with prospective clients across the NFP and liability-aware sectors, including general, life and private health insurers, as well as long service leave and redundancy trusts.

In this role, Oscar will engage with organisations, to help meet their investment goals aligning JANA’s investment, governance and responsible investments capabilities, as well as more integrated support across advice and implementation, where required.

Many institutions in the NFP and liability-aware segments operate with limited internal resources and therefore seek more integrated support to execute their investment strategy. Over the past five years, JANA’s implemented consulting platform has grown from $11 billion to over $18 billion, reflecting increasing client demand. This scale provides additional benefits for clients, including access to a broader range of fund managers and strategies.

Mr Lonergan joins JANA from Russell Investments, where he held senior institutional business development roles, most recently as Institutional Business Development Manager, working closely with NFP, Insurance and Government clients.

Oscar Lonergan said: “NFP and liability-aware investors are operating in an increasingly complex environment, and there is growing demand for advice that is both rigorous and practical. I’m excited to be joining JANA and working with clients to support their purpose and long-term objectives.”

Sai Srinivasan, Head of Client Development at JANA, said: “Oscar’s experience working with NFP and liability-aware investors will be instrumental as we continue to support clients navigating more complex investment, governance and implementation requirements.”

Oscar officially commenced his role at JANA on Monday 19 January 2026.
