Matt Knihtila, CFA

I am CCO for three of Capital Group's U.S. investment adviser entities, focusing on the institutional and high net worth facets of our business. I collaborate with the CCO of CRMC (Capital Group's largest investment adviser entity), 40 Act Fund CCO, Legal and Compliance teams, internal audit, and global risk management to develop and implement our compliance program. I have also been a senior manager, most recently overseeing a team responsible for client service compliance activities for CIT’s, SMA’s, derivatives trading, and client due diligence/RFP/RFI questionnaires. Prior to that, I oversaw teams that handled portfolio compliance, global ownership reporting, asset and cash reconciliations, and the daily valuation of securities held by the funds and accounts managed by the company. I have worked in the financial services industry for 20 years (16 with Capital Group), mainly working on operational and compliance teams for large asset managers. I am a CFA charterholder and have completed CFA Institute’s recommended continuing education hours in all 13 years since I became a member. I have an MBA from the University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Management and a BBA from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. I was valedictorian of my high school class and I am an Eagle Scout. Outside of work, I am an avid runner. I am a big sports fan, primarily of the San Francisco 49ers and Giants, Los Angeles Lakers, and any Wisconsin Badgers team. I also spend part of my free time building my sports card collection. I thoroughly enjoy the work I do at Capital Group and I am always excited to talk with anyone who is considering joining this great company.
