ABOUT NICOLAS DANG
As Managing Director, Asset Mix & Strategic Overlays at CN Investment Division (CNID), I lead the firm’s tactical asset mix and portfolio overlay strategies, with responsibility for managing market risks and opportunities that sit across the total-fund level. This includes oversight of liability-hedging and absolute return teams, including allocation to hedge funds and direct management of tail-risk protection strategies.A core part of my role is the design and build-out of CNID’s Macro Completion Strategy—both internally and with external managers—intended to complement long-term investments and improve portfolio resilience through economic cycles, market stress, and regime shifts. With over 20 years of experience, my focus is on strengthening capital efficiency and delivering durable, risk-adjusted outcomes.I am also passionate about empowering the next generation of leaders and investors, through mentoring, coaching, and education. I co-founded Junto Montreal, a non-profit organization that connects and inspires leaders to build a better tomorrow, and I have completed several courses and certifications in non-profit management, philanthropy, and governance. I believe in the power of collaborative inquiry, lifelong learning, and social impact.
