The Future Fund has ditched Dexus as the manager of its multibillion-dollar stake in the owner of Melbourne Airport, one of the first times that the $300 billion sovereign wealth fund has taken back a mandate.
The fund was only given approval by the federal government to manage its own assets internally late last year, and had previously relied on Dexus to oversee its 20 per cent stake in Australian Pacific Airports Corporation.
