Alastair Rhodes
Chief Executive at BayTrustAlastair Rhodes was appointed Chief Executive of BayTrust in 2015.

Prior to his appointment, Alastair has held senior executive roles in the aviation and consulting industries and has a background in legal, commercial and strategy.
Alastair has helped BayTrust to take a leadership position on impact investment in NZ with current concessionary impact investments totalling $4m and due diligence well underway on another $5m of non-concessionary impact investments throughout the BOP.
Alastair has a passion for the benefits associated from impact investing, both from the positive social returns and also the ability for this asset class to help compliment and diversify an overall investment portfolio through driving non correlated and acceptable risk adjusted commercial returns. Long term he has the ambition for the Trusts entire investment portfolio to not just drive the appropriate risk adjusted financial return but to also to do good at the same time with the view that this will not only produce positive social returns but also superior long term financial performance.
