Tuesday, March 13, 2018 Stamford, CT USA — The 2017 Greenwich Quality Leaders in U.S. Institutional Investment Management Service are Baillie Gifford, NISA Investment Advisors and PIMCO. These firms have distinguished themselves by delivering high levels of service and effective advice that help pension funds and other institutional clients tackle problems and meet their goals.
Most U.S. corporate funds are looking for opportunities to de-risk their portfolios and many public pensions are investing in risk assets to help them achieve investment returns needed to shore up troubling low funding levels. Both are increasingly looking to asset managers for ideas and advice on these and other issues.
The 2017 Greenwich Quality leaders all deliver on this front with service offerings featuring:
- Relationship managers that are senior, knowledgeable and experienced
- The ability to have holistic discussions about challenges and to provide advice that often extends beyond the bounds of traditional investment mandate
- The ability to identify specific client needs and create solutions to address them
- Skill at bringing the entire resources of the asset management organization to bear in implementing those solution
“While this year’s three award winners have dramatically different focuses and footprints, their client service strategies amount to the same thing: help people solve specific problems,” said Greenwich Associates Managing Director Davis Walmsley.
