Alberta Investment Management Corporation (AIMCo) has appointed Sandra Lau to its board of directors for a three-year term. The board is being rebuilt after a management purge by the Alberta government last year.
“Sandra Lau brings both exceptional skills and a unique perspective, and I am pleased to welcome her back to AIMCo as a member of the board,” board chair Stephen Harper said in the announcement. “The board is certain AIMCo and its clients will benefit from her extensive knowledge of the organization, her proven investment and risk management acumen, and her boardroom experience.”
Lau brings more than 25 years of expertise in investment and risk management, the majority of which she spent in progressively senior roles at AIMCo. Since joining the organization in 1999, she advanced to executive vice-president, fixed income, and later served as chief investment officer from 2022 until her retirement in mid-2023.
Her leadership helped shape AIMCo’s corporate and long-term investment strategies.
Lau holds a master’s degree in economics and finance and a bachelor of commerce with a major in finance, both from the University of Alberta. She is also a CFA Charterholder and is based in Edmonton.
“I have been deeply invested in AIMCo’s success for more than 25 years,” Lau said in the announcement. “It is an honour to rejoin the organization in this capacity and contribute to supporting the organization as it executes its mandate of delivering strong, risk-adjusted investment returns.”
AIMCo is one of Canada’s largest and most diversified institutional investment managers with more than $179.6 billion of assets under management as at Dec. 31. AIMCo invests globally on behalf of Alberta-based pension, endowment, insurance and government funds.
With offices in Edmonton, Calgary, Toronto, London and Luxembourg, AIMCo employs over 200 investment professionals.
