CPPIB promotes Agus Tandiono to Asia head

Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB) has appointed Agus Tandiono, who leads its fundamental equities team in Asia, as regional head.
The vacancy was created earlier this year when Suyi Kim was promoted to senior managing director and global head of private equity. Kim took on the Asia leadership role in 2016 and her brief was expanded to Asia Pacific in 2018 when Australia was added to the mandate.
Tandiono, who has also been named a senior managing director, joined CPPIB in 2014 from Citadel. He developed the pension plan’s active fundamental equities and relationship investing activities in Asia. Tandiono will retain ongoing responsibility for fundamental equities in the region as part of the active equities department.
CPPIB also announced the appointment of Maximilian Biagosch as Europe regional head and head of direct private equity globally.
As of September, the pension plan had C$541.5 billion ($426 billion) in assets, of which C$130.5 billion was invested in Asia. Global private equity exposure was C$150 billion, while a further C$102.5 billion was in real assets. CPPIB expects its total assets to surpass C$1 trillion by 2032.
