Leo de Bever
March 25, 2009
Leo de Bever took over as CEO of Alberta Investment Management Corp. (AIMCo) in August 2008. The new Crown corporation has been established by the provincial government to manage $75 billion of public sector financial assets, including the Alberta Heritage Savings Trust Fund.
De Bever was recruited from Melbourne-based Victorian Funds Management Corp., one of Australia's largest public sector pension funds, where he has served as chief investment officer since 2006. Prior to that, he held senior posts with Manulife Financial and Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan in Toronto.
De Bever began his career at the Bank of Canada in 1975, where he rose to the position of chief forecaster. But he is perhaps best known for helping to plot Teachers' bold move several years ago into so-called alternative investment classes, such as private equity and infrastructure.
Leo de Bever will be speaking at Fort Calgary, 750 - 9th Avenue S.E., Calgary. Located in the community of Inglewood, right on the N.E. corner of 9th Avenue and 6th St. S.E., Fort Calgary offers plenty of free parking.
