Vicki Fuller: Chief Investment Officer of New York State's $150+ Billion Employee Pension Fund
By: Steven Rogers and Valerie Mosley
Abstract
Vicki Fuller traveled from a four-room tenement bordering Chicago’s infamous Cabrini-Green housing projects to speaking at conferences around the world and typically holding court wherever she went. As a teenager, she helped raise her siblings. As a Wall Street executive, she navigated the investment management world to generate attractive investment results for clients. And as the Chief Investment Officer of New York State’s Employees’ Common Retirement Fund (CRF), she helped manage the third-largest state pension fund in the United States. Fuller’s 5’2” height understated her reputational stature, as audiences where she was featured anxiously awaited hearing her market outlook, innovative investment allocations, and industry insights for effective state pension fund strategies.
