The head of private market investments at Japan’s Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF) has left after ten years working at the pension fund.
Yoshitaka Todoroki, who was also an executive director at GPIF, announced his departure in a posting on his LinkedIn account on July 1. He wrote that his last day was on June 30.
He says he will be taking a break in the summer, and hopes to return to the capital market later this year.
Todoroki joined GPIF in 2016 as managing director of private market investment, and head of private equity and infrastructure. He was appointed an executive director in April this year.
Spokespersons for the pension fund did not immediately respond to questions from Asia Asset Management.
GPIF is the world’s largest pension fund, with 292.6 trillion yen (US$1.8 trillion) of assets under management as of March 31.
