OVERLAND PARK, KS – October 12, 2021 – OneDigital Investment Advisors “OneDigital,” a registered investment advisor (RIA) focused on corporate retirement plans, today announced it has hired Saumen Chattopadhyay as its Chief Investment Officer. 

In this new role, Saumen will lead OneDigital’s portfolio management and due diligence team responsible for economic forecasting, retirement plan investment selection, Collective Investment Trust (CIT) management, defining benefits strategies, managing endowment and foundation programs and the wealth advisory business. He will focus on providing strategies for OneDigital’s customers that meet the ever-changing macroeconomic environment by building investment portfolios and making investment-directed decisions for OneDigital’s Retirement + Wealth division.

Most recently, Chattopadhyay was the Chief Investment Officer of the Carson Group, where he managed their $20 billion investment platform and a team of 14 investment professionals. In his role at OneDigital, Saumen will be responsible for providing executive oversight of the firm’s investment strategy and execution, in addition to overseeing all institutional and high-net-worth client accounts.

OneDigital's success has been fueled by a combination of organic growth and strategic acquisitions.
