Oregon Taps Skjervem As New CIO

After a year-long search, Oregon’s Treasury named John Skjervem as the chief investment officer for the state’s main pension funds, which collectively manage $74 billion in assets. Skjervem replaces Ronald Schmitz, who announced last September that he was leaving to be the chief investment officer for the $53 billion Virginia Retirement System. Skjervem will start on Nov. 1.
