Lærernes Pension –
Carsten Gjede has been appointed by the Danish teachers’ pension fund Lærernes Pension to the newly-created position of chief financial officer. Gjede, who is currently chief risk officer at
Industriens Pension, is set to start the new job on 1 May.
Karsten Kjeldsen, chief executive officer of Lærernes Pension, told IPE why the pension fund was introducing a CFO role, saying the fund was in the process of preparing for a new reality, where it was facing increasing amounts of regulation, not least within the areas of investments and risk.
“This will continuously have an impact on all areas of Lærernes Pension, and it has therefore been important for me to have it integrated naturally in our top management,” he said.
Investment Week is hosting its Alternatives Briefing at a pivotal time for investors as they start to position for the recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic, although risks remain.
During this interactive briefing, we will hear from a number of alternatives managers about their response to the extraordinary events of the past year and their outlook for the rest of the year and beyond.
The managers will identify where they are seeing the biggest opportunities and risks at the moment for their portfolios and explain the role their strategies could play in helping diversify client portfolios.
Attendees will also get the chance to network with peers, quiz our speakers, as well as benefit from CPD points.
