NEW YORK \u2013 August 6, 2013 \u2013 Christian Brothers Investment Services (CBIS) and CBIS Global Funds announced today that Chief Investment Officer Frank D. Haines, CFA, will retire on August 30, 2013. \u00a0Richard L. Wolf, Senior Investment Analyst, will serve as interim Chief Investment Officer. A search for a new Chief Investment Officer will commence immediately, utilizing an external executive recruiting firm specializing in high-level investment professionals.<\/p>\n
Mr. Haines joined CBIS in 1999 as a Senior Investment Analyst. He was promoted to Chief Investment Officer and appointed to the management team in June 2000. Under Mr. Haines\u2019 tenure, CBIS\u2019 assets under management grew from $2.6 billion as of December 31, 2000 to $4.7 billion as of June 30, 2013. \u00a0In addition to oversight of all CBIS sub-advisers, Mr. Haines was instrumental in guiding the expansion of CBIS internationally through the introduction of CBIS Global Funds, and, most recently, the launch of an innovative fixed income fund, the CUIT Opportunistic Bond Fund, to help protect CBIS participants from a volatile interest rate environment.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrank Haines has been with CBIS for 14 years, and has been Chief Investment Officer for 13 of those years. \u00a0In that time, he has contributed a great deal to the quality of our investment program, most notably proving a steady hand and astute mind during the financial crisis five years ago. \u00a0During that challenging period, he led our oversight of our sub-advisers and their portfolios very successfully, protecting the Catholic institutions investing with CBIS from the worst types of losses that occurred at that volatile time. \u00a0We thank him for his service and wish him the best in his retirement, \u201csaid CBIS Chief Executive Officer Michael W. O\u2019Hern, FSC.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am also pleased that Richard Wolf, who has worked side-by-side with Frank for 13 years, has agreed to act as interim CIO, ensuring that CBIS participants will receive expert investment oversight while we search for Frank\u2019s replacement. \u00a0With more than 30 years of experience in the industry, Richard is eminently qualified to serve as CIO. \u00a0In addition, Richard will be assisted by CBIS\u2019 Investment Advisory Committee, a long-standing group of five experienced industry professionals formed to offer their perspective and counsel to our internal investment staff, and by the Investment Team, an internal group of CBIS professionals convened to leverage the investment expertise in other areas of the firm. Of course, I will be working closely with Richard during this period of transition,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n
