Prabhu Palani (MPA '94), the chief investment officer of the City of San Jose's Retirement System, was named by Trusted Insight as one of 20 recipients for the 2020 All-Star Chief Investment Officers list.
Trusted Insight, the world's largest network of institutional investors, established the list in an effort “to appreciate the leaders who helped navigate their institutions through these tumultuous months.”
While at the University of Delaware, Prabhu first earned a Master of Science degree in Accounting and then continued his education by earning a Master of Public Administration degree and serving with the 1993 class of Legislative Fellows.
Trusted Insight shared more about Prabhu's work history:
"Prior to joining the public sector, Prabhu had a successful career on the buy-side as an investment strategist and portfolio manager with over 20 years of investment management experience with global leaders including Barclays Global Investors, Franklin Templeton Investments, and Mellon Capital. He has been a trusted partner in managing clients’ assets for several leading public and corporate pension plans, endowments and foundations. Prabhu holds graduate degrees from Stanford University and the University of Delaware and has both the Chartered Financial Analyst and Chartered Accountant designations."
Trusted Insight wanted to honor “some of the industry’s most admired leaders with our 2020 All-Star Chief Investment Officers list.” “With unprecedented market turmoil transforming the landscape and generating new opportunities and risks across asset classes, many institutions have benefited from the steady hand and wisdom of a deeply experienced leader,” the announcement read.
Congratulations, Prabhu!
