On April 1, Reed Nuttall officially retired after 23 years of service at AAM. He spent two decades as AAM’s Chief Investment Officer in which he played a pivotal role in shaping our firm’s investment strategies and leading the portfolio management process with unwavering dedication. Under Reed’s leadership, our Core Fixed Income strategy has achieved strong performance, ranking among the leaders in the industry.
Though he stepped down as CIO last year, his impact as a Senior Portfolio Manager has remained strong, and his contributions over the years have left a lasting legacy. Beyond his sharp investment acumen, Reed has been a trusted leader, colleague, and friend to so many of us.
John Schaefer shared, “Reed’s leadership and expertise have been instrumental in AAM’s growth and success. His commitment to excellence and mentorship has helped shape our firm, and we are grateful for all he has done. We wish him the very best in this next chapter.”
Reed’s last message to his colleagues before retiring was the following:
“Before I ride off into the sunset, I wanted to thank all of you for being my friend. This has been a wonderful place to work. Thanks to John, this is a place that if you have an idea—it’s possible to be heard and to get things implemented. Each of you have contributed to the success of AAM by making your job better. That doesn’t happen everywhere. Thank you for speaking up in our meetings, for the hours of study to be better investors and the care you showed our clients.
Karen and I plan to have fun, we’ll be playing golf, hanging out with the grandkids and occasionally catching a BYU game…go Cougs!”
Please join us in congratulating Reed on a remarkable career and wishing him all the best in retirement!
