BOSTON, Jan. 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- David R. Fallace, Director of Investments-Special Opportunities at the $50 billion Alaska Permanent Fund Corp. (APFC), will join The Investment Fund for Foundations (TIFF) in a senior investments role, TIFF Chief Investment Officer Jay Willoughby announced today.
Mr. Fallace, 43, will be a Managing Director overseeing TIFF's Diversifying Strategies, Mr. Willoughby said.

The appointment is effective January 19, 2016.
Mr. Fallace will join two other Managing Directors (Trevor Graham and Stephen Vicinelli) in reporting directly to Mr. Willoughby, who resigned as CIO at APFC in September 2015 to fill the CIO role at TIFF.

Previously, he was Vice President at GF Private Equity Group, focusing on alternative investments for the Southern Ute Indian Tribe. He also helped evaluate and monitor the full range of the tribe's roughly $5 billion investment portfolio.
