(Bloomberg) — New York Life Insurance Co., the largest policyholder-owned life insurer in the U.S., promoted Jae Yoon at an investment unit that oversees $330 billion and includes boutique fund managers.
Yoon, 48, was named to the newly created role of chief investment officer of New York LifeInvestment Management, or NYLIM, the company said Thursday in a statement.
New York Life has been shuffling management as the insurer expands operations that oversee funds for retail investors and institutional clients. Chris Blunt was named in May to president of the investments group, switching from an insurance role, and Yie-Hsin Hung was appointed that month to chief executive officer of NYLIM, replacing Drew Lawton. Yoon will report to Hung.
“Creating a dedicated CIO role is the logical next step as we build out our global management structure,” Hung said in the statement. “As NYLIM has grown into a global asset manager, it is important for us to maintain consistently high standards of governance and investment discipline.”
