Bio
Andrew Fillmore
Vikram is an outstanding person – intelligent, professional, and ambitious. I worked closely with Vikram at the Michigan Department of Treasury for over four years where I provided legal support to the investment staff. I was always impressed by Vikram’s enthusiasm to dive into the (often dry and complex) legal contracts in order to keenly understand the terms and provide thoughtful feedback to shape the relationship and expectations with his investment managers. Vikram was passionate about providing exceptional returns to advance the mission of the Treasury and it was not uncommon to hear about Vikram accepting a special project to assist the team. Vikram was also a very personable colleague and I enjoyed our stimulating conversations throughout the years. I highly recommend working with a professional like Vikram.

Vikram was an excellent portfolio manager with good relationship skills. I would seek Vikram’s advice on a variety of complex issues. Vikram was highly motivated, a team player and exercised sound judgment. I always trusted Vikram on highly sensitive matters.
