The South Carolina Retirement System Investment Commission has officially appointed Bryan Moore the fund’s permanent chief investment officer, effective Oct. 16.
Moore has held the role on an interim basis since late July, after Geoffrey Berg left the organization to assume the CIO role at the University of Rochester Endowment.
“Since assuming the interim CIO role, Bryan has hit the ground running, bringing a renewed energy and sense of enthusiasm to the role,” said Michael Hitchcock, RSIC’s chief executive officer, in a news release. “During this interim period, Bryan has established himself as the investment team’s leader and firmly set his vision for managing the portfolio.”
Moore began his tenure at RSIC in June 2012 as a senior private equity officer. Since joining the pension fund, he has progressively held several senior positions, including managing director of public markets, leading up to his appointment as deputy CIO in August 2023. Prior to joining the RSIC, Moore served four years on the alternatives investment team at the Pennsylvania State Employees’ Retirement System.
“We are truly fortunate to have someone like Bryan who was prepared to step in and continue Geoff Berg’s great work with the investment team and to build on that success as we look towards managing a much larger portfolio in the next five years,” said Hitchcock, adding that he was instrumental in the development and implementation of the significant portfolio changes the fund has made over the past five years.
“I’m grateful for the trust Mike and the Commission have placed in me and proud to lead such a talented team,” said Moore. “RSIC’s strength comes from its people, process, and governance, and we’ll keep building on that foundation with a culture that’s analytical, collaborative, and focused on serving the members and beneficiaries who depend on us.”
