People’s Partnership, the provider of The People’s Pension, has appointed Dan Mikulskis as its new chief investment officer (CIO).
Mikulskis will join in September from his role as investment partner at consultancy Lane, Clark & Peacock, where he was lead investment adviser for a range of institutional investors and implemented net-zero programmes for large asset owners.
As CIO he will lead the investment team, which oversees the investments of The People’s Pension, which holds assets under management of £21bn, but this number is projected to grow to more than £40bn in the next five years.
The People’s Pension also serves more than 6 million people, from more than 100,000 employers across the UK.
Commenting on his appointment, Mikulskis said: “I believe that asset owners have a special and important role, and it’s an absolute privilege to join People’s Partnership as it grows to become one of the UK’s biggest defined contribution asset owners of the next decade.”
He then added: “The vast majority of the investment industry is made up of commercial entities, beholden to shareholders, so to join a not-for-profit that can think independently, and put its members at the heart of its decisions, was a huge opportunity for me.”
