Michael Viteri has rejoined the Arizona State Retirement System (ASRS) as its new CIO.
Viteri most recently served as senior investment officer at the Oregon State Treasury, which manages investment portfolios for various Oregon state agencies. The treasury has a combined market value of $124 billion, including the $89 billion Oregon Public Employees Retirement Fund.
Prior to that, he was a portfolio manager and trader at ASRS from 2000 until 2008, when he joined the Oregon State Treasury.
Viteri will rejoin ASRS as CIO on June 1, and will oversee the pension fund’s investment management division, which is in charge of the $48 billion ASRS trust fund.
“I am very excited to return to Arizona with my family,” said Viteri. “The ASRS manages a top-tier investment program and has a leading-edge governance model, and I am very much looking forward to working with such an exceptional team of professionals.”
