However, Raghavan said the firm has a deep bench of talent, and he believes that it will be able to “absorb” Pan’s departure.
“Philosophically I have a view that if we do have a great investment firm where we’re going to be training people and helping them succeed,” they may move on and “set up their own entrepreneurial ventures,” Raghavan said.
Last year, the $38 billion OCIO firm rebalanced its portfolio five times during March and April.
It worked: the firm had its “best-ever” year, he said. The portfolio outperformed its benchmark by 450 basis points net of fees at the highest fee level, a spokesperson confirmed Tuesday.
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.
