Tuesday, May 1, 2018 Stamford, CT USA — The continued pressure on plan sponsors to close funding gaps while managing risk is forcing U.S. institutional investors to take a hard look at their portfolio allocations.  

The 2017 Greenwich Quality Leaders in Overall U.S. Investment Consulting are using this opportunity to cement their strong client relationships with advice on how to structure and implement new strategies and allocation models. Firms that were once viewed almost exclusively as a resource for manager due diligence and selection now are routinely expected to provide advice and support to institutions on asset allocation, investment strategy and a host of other issues. 

“Institutions’ need for ideas and solutions and new competition for advisory relationships from sophisticated asset managers are forcing investment consultants to up their game,” says Greenwich Associates Managing Director Davis Walmsley.  “The 2017 Greenwich Quality Leaders in U.S. Investment Consulting have done exactly that.”
