Our People

The KCFR is guided by three councils. Our council of Chief Investment Officers of major pension funds guide our research topics. Our Industry Advisory Council advises research endeavors. Our Academic Advisory Council chooses research to fund and provides feedback on the research. Together the teams keep research focused on relevant problems for asset managers.
