The Alberta Investment Management Corporation (AIMCo) has promoted Justin Lord to chief investment officer, effective immediately, following an extensive international search.

Lord, who joined AIMCo in 2012, most recently served as senior executive managing director and global head of public markets. In that role, he oversaw the firm’s public equities and fixed income teams.

“[Lord] has proven he has the experience, expertise and investment acumen to head this critical function,” said Ray Gilmour, interim CEO of AIMCo. “He is a trusted partner to our clients and an excellent leader to our investment teams, and I am pleased AIMCo has the deep bench strength to tap for this role.”

Lord brings 20 years of investment experience to the position, beginning his career at the New Brunswick Investment Management Corporation in 2005. He is a CFA charterholder and will remain based in Alberta.

“I am proud to work on behalf of AIMCo’s clients and to lead such a world-class investment team,” Lord said. “I know that together we share the same deep commitment to successfully executing our investment strategy and to delivering on our mandate.”

AIMCo ranks among Canada’s largest institutional commercial real estate investors, managing more than $179.6 billion in assets on behalf of pension, endowment, insurance and government funds in Alberta. The firm has offices in Edmonton, Calgary, Toronto, London and Luxembourg.
