Matt Zumbach, CFA, CAIA
President and Treasurer
Matt received his BA in Finance and Economics from Miami University, his Master of Accounting from the University of Michigan, and his Master of Business Administration from the Kellogg School of Business at Northwestern University. He completed his Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) and Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst (CAIA) certifications in 2011 and 2021, respectively.
Matt has over 20 years of experience in the financial and investment industry. He started his career as an Investment Banker and pivoted to an analyst position at a hedge fund focused on non-investment grade fixed income. In 2007 pursued a full-time MBA at the Kellogg School of Management. Upon completion of his MBA in 2009, he accepted a role as an analyst managing Aon’s $2.0B U.S. plan and serving as a corporate advisor for their $5.0B global pension plans. After 3-years, he became the CIO for Aon’s U.S. Defined Benefit and Defined Contribution Plans, where he was integral in achieving returns in the top 5% of all pension plans, foundations, and endowments in Aon Hewitt’s consulting database. During his time at Aon, he focused on asset allocation strategy covering equities, fixed income, hedge funds, private equity, and internally managed derivative products.
After Aon, Matt took a role as the Treasurer of Alight Solutions, a Blackstone owned Private Equity portfolio company where he helped build their IPO model and served as the primary contact for Alight’s lenders. He also spent 5 years at Northern Trust advising institutional clients on their investment portfolios and authored thought leadership papers on glidepaths, derivatives, and impacts of capital market assumptions.
He has remained connected with the Kellogg School of Management and teaches a course on Equity Valuation as a guest lecturer every quarter for the Kellogg Asset Management Practicum.
Outside of work Matt enjoys spending time with his wife Sarah and his daughter Leila Joy. He is also an avid cyclist, and a competitive triathlete.
