PSP Investments' CIO to depart after six years

Eduard van Gelderen will leave the Public Sector Pension Investment Board (PSP Investments) on October 1, after serving six years as senior vice president and chief investment officer.  

With van Gelderen's departure, Alexandre Roy, senior managing director of Total Fund Management, will immediately assume the responsibilities of the CIO Office on an interim basis. 

Deborah Orida, president, and chief executive officer of PSP Investments expressed gratitude for van Gelderen’s significant impact.  

She highlighted his dedication to fostering diverse and inclusive teams, which strengthened the organization. His active support for PSP's Anti-racism, culture, and religion affinity group will leave a lasting legacy.  

Orida noted, “His contributions have been instrumental in our growth, and we wish him the very best in his future endeavours.”   

Van Gelderen, who joined PSP Investments in 2018, oversaw the total fund portfolio and long-term investment strategy. He also led the organization’s sustainable investment, public policy, global government affairs, and strategic communications efforts.    

Although van Gelderen will step away from daily operations, the decision for his departure was mutually agreed upon.
