Public Sector Investment Strategy
What is Public Sector Investment Strategy?
Investment consultants work with public retirement systems at the city, county, state and federal levels. They create flexible solutions that can help to:
- Reduce fees
- Ease implementation
- Diversify investments
- Manage assets and liabilities
- Enhance governance while protecting beneficiaries, participants, investment committees and boards
Public sector investment solutions can range in scope from traditional investment advisory consulting to partial delegation, full delegation or outsourced chief investment officer (OCIO) services.
What are the Benefits of Using a Public Sector Investment Consultant?
Leaders in the public sector are often asked to do more with less while facing new risks and an aging infrastructure. In these circumstances, an improved understanding of pension risk can help lead to better investment strategies and better expected financial outcomes. Understanding how the liability associated with pension payments interacts with asset levels, asset allocation, and funding strategy is vitally important for public plan sponsors.
