Portfolio Construction
Portfolio structure decisions are based on key factors: specific asset classes selected, allocation mix, & ability to generate “alpha” through active management. Factors evaluated include active/passive, capitalization & style allocation, manager diversification, fixed income duration exposure, use of non-traditional fixed income, liquidity of fund structures, use of alternative investments & more.

We provide education on investment strategies & approaches & perform rigorous due diligence to identify highly qualified managers to implement various components of portfolios. We remain abreast of changes in clients’ investment objectives given changes in the capital markets & structure & nature of their plan liabilities & adjust appropriately.
