investment officer and treasurer of AEGIS Insurance Services, a
mutual insurance company headquartered in East Rutherford, N.J.
Reeves announced his retirement today in a web post on LinkedIn. He joined $8.5 billion AEGIS in the

people regarding the investment function,” both within and without the mutual
insurance company.
Reeves went on to state he will step down December 15,
noting he will remain onboard with AEGIS until the next CIO or treasurer is
appointed. Reeves said he and his wife are “returning home” to south Louisiana
and have purchased a home in Baton Rouge.
A B.A. and MBA business and finance graduate of Louisiana
State University, Reeves explained he planned to become a professor with his
alma matter in the fall of 2023.
