The board of the Alberta Teachers’ Retirement Fund (ATRF) has appointed Rod Matheson as CEO.
He will take on the role effective Nov. 17, 2014 and succeed Emilian Groch, who announced his retirement last year after more than 20 years as ATRF’s leader.
Matheson has been with the Government of Alberta in various capacities for more than 30 years, most recently as assistant deputy minister, treasury and risk management with Alberta Treasury Board and Finance.
“We are delighted to have Rod join our team,” says Greg Meeker, chair of the board. “His experience and background are critical as ATRF continues to implement its current business strategy of excellent service to plan members and value-added, risk-controlled, long-term investment returns.”
With more than $10 billion in assets, Alberta Teachers’ Retirement Fund board administers the Teachers’ Pension Plan for all Alberta teachers employed in school jurisdictions and charter schools, and administers the Private School Teachers’ Pension Plan for private schools who have elected to join the plan. The plans cover 76,000 teachers and retired members.
