The Alternative Investment Management Association has appointed Anne-Marie Fink as co-chair of the organization’s Global Investor Board. Fink will serve in the co-chair position alongside Eduard Van Gelderen, who is the founding chair of AIMA’s Global Investor Board and is the CIO of Canada’s PSP Investments.
Fink, whose appointment is effective immediately, is currently CIO of private markets and fund alpha at the State of Wisconsin Investment Board, where she oversees alternative investments of the $156 billion fund, including private equity, real estate, hedge funds, externally managed accounts, private debt and venture capital.
AIMA’s Global Investor Board is an advisory body that seeks to help managers understand the latest trends in alternative investments. The GIB, founded in 2022, publishes research on topics including ESG, hedge funds, liquidity management, portfolio construction, private credit and private equity.
Other members of the board include Scott Chan, deputy CIO of CalSTRS; Tammi Fisher, head of alternatives at Australia’s Future Fund; Mark Burbach, former CIO of the Abu Dhabi Pension Fund; Yoshi Kiguchi, CIO of the Pension Fund of Japanese Corporations; and Charles Hyde, head of asset allocation at the New Zealand Superannuation Fund, among other CIOs and alternative investment professionals.
Before her position at SWIB, Fink was a portfolio strategist at State Street Global Advisors. She also held CIO positions at multi-family office Matheys Lane Capital Management and the Employees Retirement System of Rhode Island. Fink holds a Bachelor of Arts in humanities from Yale University and a Master of Business Administration from Columbia Business School.
“As Co-Chair of the AIMA Global Investor Board, I’m honored to represent asset owners and investors as we drive sound practices and thought leadership within the alternative asset management community. Working alongside Eduard and the entire GIB, we are committed to sharing global insights that elevate our industry and foster greater connectivity among members across borders,” Fink said in a press release.
