Institutions like public pensions, union benefit plans, municipalities and family businesses, have very different time horizons and risk concerns than individual investors. We have worked with institutional clients for more than 20 years, and we believe that the primary goal is to reduce risk. While risk can never be completely removed from an investment portfolio, the identification of those risks and the ability to reduce them while still providing income to beneficiaries is something at which we excel.
Cash management for participant payments is the other major component of institutional investing. Our advisors have worked on both sides of the table on this issue: as portfolio managers and as pension trustees.
