The Office of the New York City Comptroller announced the appointment of Valerie Red-Horse Mohl as deputy CIO for responsible investing at the Comptroller’s Bureau of Asset Management, which oversees the five city pension systems’ investment portfolios.
Red-Horse Mohl will report to CIO Steven Meier and, as deputy CIO, will oversee the bureau’s economically targeted investment program, which invests in: underserved communities; the diverse and emerging manager program; and broader environmental, social and governance programs.
The five pension systems are: the Teachers’ Retirement System of the City of New York, the New York City Employees’ Retirement System, the New York City Police Pension Fund, the New York City Fire Pension Fund and the New York City Board of Education Retirement System. As of December 2024, the plans collectively manage $279.67 billion.
“Bringing investment capital directly to under-resourced communities to create lasting change has long been a passion of mine and I am excited to spearhead these efforts on behalf of nearly 800,000 pension plan members and beneficiaries,” Red-Horse Mohl said in a statement.
Red-Horse Mohl is the founder of Red-Horse Securities, an investment bank and asset management firm that specialized in tribal clients. She began her career at Drexel Burnham Lambert. In 2022, Red-Horse Mohl was named an inaugural member of the U.S. Treasury Advisory Committee on Racial Equity.
Red-Horse Mohl earned a bachelor’s degree in theater, film and television from the University of California, Los Angeles.
