TIFF was named as a finalist for the 2023 Chief Investment Officer (CIO) Industry Innovation Awards in the OCIO category.

Since 2010, Chief Investment Officer, an ISS Media brand, has been recognizing institutional asset owners and the asset managers and consultants who serve them with its annual Industry Innovation Awards.

Nominations are called for in September and finalists, selected by CIO’s editorial staff, are announced in October. All finalists fill out an application for the awards. There is no fee to participate.

For asset owners, winners are selected by a panel of industry judges and CIO editorial staff. Winners are announced at the annual Industry Innovation Awards Dinner in New York City in December.

Kane Brenan, CEO of TIFF Investment Management, believes that the search activity for OCIOs has increased, and agrees with the notion that the hiring process has become easier with the assistance of third-party search consultants who streamline the evaluation and selection process for organizations seeking OCIO partners by providing clarity on investment approach, historical results, and fee transparency.

Kane Brenan, CEO of TIFF Investment Management, highlighted in the July 17, 2023 issue of Pensions & Investments that ongoing market volatility and the complexity of investment portfolios are driving increased demand for outsourced chief investment officers (OCIOs), with asset owners turning to OCIOs for professional expertise in managing their investments, as well as for support in diversifying their portfolios and accessing specialized strategies.

Increasing complexity of assets. A need to move quickly to adjust to volatile markets and uncertainty. Those are just a few of the reasons why industry experts and consultants say demand for outsourced CIO managers will only continue to grow.

According to data compiled by Pensions & Investments, OCIO assets managed for institutional investors worldwide with full or partial discretion surged to about $2.66 trillion as of March 31, up 5.4% from 2021 and 86.1% from 2017.
