Antonio Rodriguez was recently poached by Building Service
32BJ Funds to become director of investments. He was recently director of investment
strategy for the NYC Board of Education Retirement System. Insiders say the Building
Service fund created a new role for Rodriguez who is known for his skill as an
investor and diplomatic thought leader.
While at NYC BERS for the past five years, Rodriguez created
and led its first independent investment manager selections and implemented its
portfolio analytics platforms. He also oversaw BERS’ first asset-liability
study.
He joined NYC BERS after spending four years as the Senior
Pensions and Investments Officer for the NYC Mayor's Office of Pensions and
Investments from 2014 through 2018, where he was designated trustee for the Finance
Commissioner and alternate trustee for the NYC Mayor on pension fund boards. There,
