David Vickers will leave Brunel Pension Partnership, Bristol, England, next spring after four years as chief investment officer.
Vickers will take up a new role at a “large endowment fund,” according to a statement. Further details were not immediately available.
"Brunel is enormously grateful for David’s commitment to our founding vision, and for the investment insight and people skills he has brought to a very wide-ranging role,” the statement said. “He has been a key player in our net-zero journey in recent years.”
The about £31 billion ($40.4 billion) Brunel, one of the U.K. pools for local government pension schemes, is beginning its process to find a successor. “David remains committed to his role until his departure, beyond which we wish him all the very best for the future,” the statement added.
Vickers is also part of the National Wealth Fund task force, a group appointed to advise the U.K. Labour government on its sovereign-backed green catalytic fund.
He had joined Brunel from Russell Investments, where he was managing director and head of multiasset for Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
