This is delivered to clients by providing expert advice on their investments and decision-making processes, making investment decisions on their behalf through delegated investment services and providing investment tools. Our clients are a diverse range of institutional investors, including corporate pension plans, defined contribution plans, and more. As a trusted partner to over 1,200 clients, we advise on over $2.6 trillion of global assets.

Some of the client projects you will complete may include investment strategy, liability hedging, governance checklists, performance calculations, manager searches and selection, manager monitoring, etc. Our ultimate mission is to create better outcomes for plan beneficiaries.
