Lafayette CIO named a ‘Top 15 Voice in Finance’

Krishna Memani

Lafayette’s chief investment officer, Krishna Memani, has been named one of the 15 Top Voices in Finance by LinkedIn, which describes the list as “15 thought leaders covering everything you need to know about the opportunities and technologies reshaping money.”

Memani “focuses on big-picture shifts in the market and how investors can respond,” LinkedIn said in its announcement.” From best- and worst-case scenarios for inflation to ways of factoring in risk and global events, he shows how investors can ‘peek over the horizon’ and not ‘get suckered in by the momentum crowd.’” 

Memani joined Lafayette in October 2020 after appointments that included vice chairman of investments at Invesco, chief investment officer at OppenheimerFunds, and managing director at Deutsche Bank, heading U.S. and European credit analysis. During his time at Lafayette, the College’s endowment has grown from $850 million to $1.1 billion. He can be followed on LinkedIn and Twitter. 

Financial news outlets regularly seek out Memani’s expertise. Here are some of his recent media appearances:

• Discussing Indian stock sales by foreign funds in January 2022 with Economic Times.
• Discussing a volatile market in December 2021 with CNBC and Bloomberg.
• Discussing payrolls in America, the future outlook of the Fed in December 2021 with Bloomberg.
• Discussing inflation concerns in October 2021 with Bloomberg.
• Discussing the S&P 500 in July 2021 with Bloomberg.
