Allianz Investment Management SE (AIM), the Allianz Group entity which develops, steers and implements the investment strategy for insurance premiums earned by Allianz entities globally (proprietary investments), has appointed a new leadership team: Mario Skoric assumes the position of Chief Executive Officer of Allianz Investment Management SE (AIM), and Ludovic Subran takes on the role of Allianz Group Chief Investment Officer (Group CIO) who works closely together with the investment officers of Allianz entities globally. Since January 1, 2025, both serve as Managing Directors and Co-Leads of AIM.

In addition to his new leadership role, Ludovic Subran will remain Chief Economist of Allianz SE and continue to lead the insurer’s Economic Research unit.
Mario Skoric joined Allianz in 2000 and has played a key role in developing AIM’s strategy over the past years in various leadership positions. In his previous role as Global Head of ALM/SAA and member of the Investment Management Board of AIM, Mario was responsible for Asset-Liability Management and Strategic Asset Allocation for the proprietary Allianz investment portfolio, which comprises 700 billion Euros.
Ludovic Subran has been instrumental in shaping economic research and strategy as Allianz Group Chief Economist since 2019. Before that, he was the Chief Economist of Allianz Trade, the global leader in trade credit insurance and credit management. Before joining Allianz and the insurance sector in 2011, Ludovic worked for public institutions such as the French Ministry of Finance, the United Nations, and the World Bank.
Günther Thallinger, Member of the Board of Management of Allianz SE, welcomes the new AIM leadership team: “We are happy to have Mario and Ludovic take the lead. With their capital markets expertise and investment management experience, Mario and Ludovic will shape the next phase of Allianz’s investment management.
