Today, Keva’s Board of Directors appointed Maaria Kettunen, MSc Econ., as Keva’s new Chief Investment Officer (CIO) and member of the management group.
Maaria Kettunen will take up the position on 1 November 2025. Kettunen is currently serving as Keva’s Chief Operating Officer for Investments and as the Deputy CIO.
Keva’s current CIO Ari Huotari will retire in 2026.
Maaria Kettunen joined Keva in 1998 and has since held various positions in the investment function.
‘Maaria Kettunen has extensive experience with stable and long-term investment activities at Keva. This experience and her proven ability are crucial as, in the future, the return on Keva’s investments will play an increasingly decisive role in the payment of pensions. Keva’s fund of 73 billion euros is the largest in Finland, and its profitable and secure management is vital for the entire pension system,’ says Heikki Autto, Chair of Keva’s Board of Directors.
‘I would like to thank Keva’s Board of Directors for their trust. This role is of great societal importance, and I am pleased to be able to continue working to ensure long-term investment returns in Keva’s investment activities. Together with Keva’s skilled and committed investment professionals, we will continue our work for the benefit of current and future pensioners. Strong returns are essential to cover future pension liabilities,’ says Kettunen.
