Daniel Gallagher was named chief investment officer of the Ventura County (Calif.) Employees’ Retirement Association, said Linda Webb, retirement administrator.
The $4.4 billion pension fund does not currently have a chief investment officer. Mr. Gallagher is expected to start on or about May 1 and will report to the pension fund’s board of trustees.
Previously, Mr. Gallagher was the chief investment officer of the $13.9 billion Los Angeles City Employees’ Retirement System. He retired from the role in 2010 and has been consulting part time since then, said an announcement from the pension fund.
Executive search firm CPS HR Consulting assisted with the search.
