Retirement Plans
Partnering to Manage Fiduciary Risk
Our Outsourced CIO practice has extensive experience in working with plan sponsors
of corporate retirement plans, acting as discretionary manager for Defined Benefit
pension plans, and Defined Contribution 401(k) plans.
Client teams are
led by Client Investment Officers, many of whom have served on Investment Committees
themselves and were responsible for managing the pension investments. Every Defined
Benefit client also has a credentialed plan actuary on the client service team to
help with the asset-liability management strategy.
