How do we... |
Bellwether can... |
 |
Secure promised benefits and
enhance
company performance by achieving
maximum total return? |
|
Review
investment
policy to improve portfolio efficiency; conduct a thorough review of
managers during the
selection process and on an
ongoing basis. |
|
Control earnings volatility and
limit funding risk? |
|
Use mean-variance
and mean-semivariance analysis to
project volatility and maximum
probable loss consistent with desired returns; monitor manager risk
characteristics, not just returns. |
|
Achieve our investment objectives
at the lowest possible cost? |
|
Benchmark manager
expenses; incorporate fee analysis into strategy formulation and
manager selection; do the work, so your team can stay focused on
making decisions. |
|
Communicate effectively with our
Board and other decision-makers while resolving different points
of view? |
|
Develop clear
written policy and mandates, putting all parties on the same page;
distill volumes of detail into reports appropriate for the audience;
facilitate meetings, challenge senior leaders with grace, provide
clear and unambiguous recommendations. |
|
Make
sure the plan stays on track, with minimal commitment of staff
time? |
|
Provide
on-going monitoring of your
investments, ensuring they are performing as expected and alerting
you quickly when they’re not. We’ll work closely with you to resolve
issues before they become problems. |
|
Stay on top of the market? |
|
Provide insightful
market updates; conduct focused research to address any special
issue; provide real opinions, not generic rules of thumb. |
