IMCO Announces Investment Leadership Appointments
Expanded leadership structure reinforces continuity, deepens investment expertise and positions IMCO to deliver long-term value for clients
TORONTO (August 7, 2026) – The Investment Management Corporation of Ontario (“IMCO”) today announced changes to its investment leadership team following Chief Investment Officer Rossitsa Stoyanova's decision to pursue her next professional chapter.
Stoyanova will remain Chief Investment Officer through January 2027 to ensure a seamless transition before becoming Special Advisor to IMCO.
IMCO will use the transition to evolve the Chief Investment Officer role into a broader investment leadership function. Accountabilities that previously sat with one executive will be distributed across senior leaders with complementary expertise, strengthening execution across IMCO’s multi-client platform and creating growth opportunities for proven internal talent.
"Rossitsa has played a pivotal role in strengthening our investment platform and helping shape the organization we are today,” said Bert Clark, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are grateful for her many contributions and pleased that she will continue to support the organization during this important transition."
Effective January 2027:
- Nick Chamie, currently Senior Managing Director, Total Portfolio and Capital Markets and Chief Strategist will become Executive Managing Director, Total Portfolio.
- Craig Ferguson, currently Senior Managing Director, Head of Private Equity and Global Credit will become Executive Managing Director, Private Markets.
- Angus Botterell, currently Senior Managing Director, Head of Public Equities will become Executive Managing Director, Public Equities.
Each will report directly to the President and CEO and join IMCO's Senior Executive Team.
The new structure reflects the growing scale and complexity of IMCO’s investment platform, creates greater focus across key disciplines and reinforces IMCO’s commitment to developing exceptional leaders from within.
“These appointments are a natural progression of our strategy,” said Clark. “We have deliberately built a strong investment team, and promoting outstanding leaders from within strengthens our culture, deepens collaboration and increases organizational resilience. Most importantly, it positions us to deliver even stronger long-term outcomes for our clients.”
The appointments build on IMCO’s differentiated investment philosophy, which emphasizes broad diversification, disciplined risk and liquidity management, cost-effective implementation and a long-term investment horizon. Managing client portfolios holistically helps strengthen portfolio resilience and efficiency while positioning clients to capture long-term opportunities.
"Our strategy has never depended on any one individual," added Clark. "It depends on building enduring institutional capability. The depth of talent we have developed gives us tremendous confidence in the future and ensures continuity for our clients as we continue to grow."
