SWIB’s Ryan Johnston has been named an AlphaEdge Rising Star by Institutional Investor magazine. Johnston is being honored as a Next Generation in Alpha Generation Rising Star.
The AlphaEdge awards recognize distinguished allocators across a number of accomplishments including thought leadership, innovation, and alpha generation.
Johnston is a senior analyst in SWIB’s Fund’s Alpha Team in the Private Markets & Funds Alpha Division. The Funds Alpha Team allocates around $30 billion in assets to external managers in an effort to generate alpha or returns that are not driven by broad market performance. In certain circumstances, highly skilled external managers can supplement SWIB’s internal investment capabilities in specialized strategies or hard to access markets.
Johnston joined SWIB in 2016 as a Funds Alpha investment associate. The Waupaca native is a graduate of the Marquette University Applied Investment Management Program. He earned his Chartered Financial Analyst certification from the CFA Institute and his Alternative Investment Analyst Charter from the Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst Association.
