What Does a Chief Investment Officer Do?

A Chief Investment Officer sets an organization’s investment direction and oversees the people, processes, and portfolios that put it into practice.

Depending on the organization, CIOs may oversee portfolio construction, due diligence, manager selection, governance, regulatory compliance, and long-term investment planning. Employers often value a record of making disciplined decisions and explaining complex investment considerations clearly.
