PGIM Investments, the asset management arm of Prudential Financial Inc., announced the appointment of its first global head of alternative investments. Dominick Carlino will fill the newly created role as PGIM seeks to expand its alternatives offerings, the company announced.

“Dominick’s deep understanding and experience in the alternatives space will add tremendous value to our business as we continue to extend PGIM’s full array of high-quality private capabilities to our financial intermediary partners and their high-net-worth clients,” said Stuart Parker, president and CEO of PGIM Investments, in the release. 

Earlier this year, PGIM announced the creation of PGIM Private Alternatives, combining its alternative investment groups into a single entity in order to better structure its alternatives offerings. PGIM currently has $310.9 billion in AUM across multiple alternative assets, including real estate, private credit and private equity.

Carlino has 20 years of experience in alternatives. He was previously managing director and head of alternative investments distribution at Merrill Lynch, where he spent nearly 11 years. He also held business development roles at AlphaOne Capital Partners and Morgan Stanley Alternative Investment Partners. He was also previously a research analyst at Susquehanna Financial Group and an investment banker at Fleet Securities.

NYU Endowment CIO Kathleen Jacobs Steps Down

Jacobs left NYU to pursue an unspecified new opportunity.  
By Matt Toledo


Kathleen Jacobs, the CIO of New York University’s Endowment Fund, stepped down as of September 30.

Jacobs joined the NYU endowment in 2015 after nearly seven years as managing director of investments at New York Presbyterian Hospital. Prior to that, she was a senior investor at the Juilliard School’s endowment. She also held vice president positions at J.P. Morgan and Goldman Sachs.  

Under Jacobs, the endowment grew to $5.3 billion, as of August 31, 2022, from $3.5 billion, according to the university. In the past 20 years, the fund has returned 7.3% against its benchmark of 6.1%. Because of performance and capital inflows, the value of the fund has increased 8% per year in the last 20 years.  

“Over the past eight years, Kathleen transformed and institutionalized the university endowment, created a best-in-class investment office and program, and generated strong investment returns significantly exceeding the policy benchmark” NYU Executive Vice President Martin Dorph told Washington Square News.  

Jacobs has not announced a new role. NYU declined to comment.
