Wilshire Consulting hires Ingram away from BT Pension Scheme

Tuesday, May 23, 2017
Opalesque Industry Update - Wilshire Consulting, the institutional investment advisory and outsourced-CIO (OCIO) business unit of Wilshire Associates, announced today that Daniel Ingram has been hired to serve as Vice President of Responsible Investment Research & Consulting. In this role, Ingram will assist in expanding Wilshire Consulting's ESG (environmental, social, and governance) and SRI (socially responsible investing) capabilities as part of the firm's continued commitment to broadening its client offering. He will be responsible for supporting Wilshire Consulting's traditional advisory clients in addition to its clients in the Wilshire OCIO Solutions practice, which has grown significantly in recent years. Ingram will report to Andrew Junkin, President of Wilshire Consulting and Steve Foresti, Chief Investment Officer of Wilshire Consulting.

"Daniel's deep understanding of responsible investment best practices, particularly in Europe, will help our clients navigate this exciting and often challenging space," said Andrew Junkin. "We are extremely fortunate to expand the team with someone who has such an excellent track record of designing and implementing creative investment-led solutions to managing ESG risks and opportunities. I look forward to working closely with Daniel in providing high quality responsible investment research and advice to our clients."

Ingram comes to Wilshire with over a decade of global ESG experience. He previously served as Head of Responsible Investment for the UK's largest corporate retirement plan, BT Pension Scheme (BTPS). In this role, Ingram advised BTPS' Trustee Board on its responsible investment strategy, its approach to managing climate change risk and integrating ESG factors into manager selection and monitoring.

Prior to BTPS, Ingram worked at Hermes Investment Management as a Senior Corporate Governance Analyst. He also served as a Policy Analyst to Her Majesty's Treasury, working on several landmark reports, including leading the Stern Review on the Economics of Climate Change as Lord Stern's Chief of Staff.

"Wilshire Consulting's client-first commitment, ability to continually deliver innovative investment solutions and deep research capabilities struck me as a unique combination in the industry," said Ingram. "I look forward to working alongside Andrew, Steve and the talented Wilshire team in expanding the firm's ESG and SRI capabilities and increasing the already strong value Wilshire Consulting brings to its clients."

Ingram holds a post-graduate certificate in sustainable leadership from the University of Cambridge, the UK CFA Institute's Investment Management Certificate and a MA with honors from Trinity College Dublin, Ireland.
