Five years ago—when the S&P 500 hovered about 40% below today and CIO was
a mere toddler—we picked 40 promising young asset owners (mostly) under 40 to
highlight as the next generation of investment greats. These five made us look
the smartest.
Jagdeep Bachher: CIO, University of California Board of Regents
“Bachher is aggressive—and we don’t just mean his
ambitious move from AIMCO to California in 2014. Under Bachher, the $200
billion UC office strives to play in league with the Canadian and sovereign
wealth greats. It’s on its way.”
Mark Baumgartner: CIO, Institute for Advanced Study
“After leaving the Ford Foundation, where he was responsible for asset
allocation and risk, he’s taken the Institute’s portfolio into 100% alts, with
leverage—a ‘wild’ portfolio by some.”
Evalinde Eelens: Investment Manager, Mars Pension Fund
“Often seen at CIO events on either side of
the Atlantic, Eelens’ career has taken her through roles at A&O, PGGM, and
now Mars pensions, establishing herself as a well-respected investor.”
“Hetherington—perhaps more famous for his
photography than his stellar track record at Brian Pellegrino’s UPS pension
fund—made the much-desired jump to the endowment world in 2014.”
Anders Hjælmsø Svennesen: CIO, Danica
“Hired
to turn Danica’s fortunes around after it had been rock bottom for three years,
Svennesen just led his fund to the second-best returns in Denmark in Q1. And
he’s only just begun.”
