With portfolios that reflect the diversity of today’s investment markets and client needs, it’s important to have a leadership team that reflects a diversity of work experience, prior affiliations and educational foundation.

We value what each brings to bear in their day-to-day responsibilities as well as in leading Allstate Investments, LLC into the future.

Ric is also a member of Allstate’s Senior Management Team, the Enterprise Risk and Return Council, and Chair of the Investment Committees. He is also a member of the Chairman’s Strategy Committee.

Following six years as a U.S. Naval officer, he began his investment career as an analyst at The Prudential in 1975. For the next twenty years, he held various positions of increasing responsibility in the investment management activities of the firm, including a two-year assignment in Tokyo. Before moving to John Hancock Financial Services in 1996, Ric ran Prudential’s Corporate Finance Group, Prudential Capital Group, and Prudential Asset Management Group, the latter encompassing all of Prudential’s institutional money management operations. At John Hancock, he was Senior VP and Chief Investment Strategist. Moving from John Hancock in 2000, he performed consulting services for large institutional investors and was retained by Samsung Life Insurance Company to assist its Chief Investment Officer in driving the overall investment management function toward a “global standard”.
