HOW OFTEN in our lives do we get a brief look at the newest leaders to enter the scene?
Here is CIO’s 2017 40 Under 40 list of the best, brightest and most inspiring talent.

The list, compiled based on anonymous nominations, brings together 40 asset owners from around the world who show a strong passion in their work and the ability to become potential game changers — if they aren’t already. The catch – they couldn’t turn the big 4-0 before the end of April.

This feature brings you inside the minds of this class of future investment leaders as they answer a series of questions that reveal their strategies, personalities, and dream mentors. They also claim their stakes on the eternal debate of passive vs. active and shed some light on what makes them tick. To keep it fair, we asked these rising stars the same series of questions. You can share your thoughts on social media using the hashtag #CIO40Under40. The 2017 class of CIO’s 40 Under 40 award winners are:
