A tailored investment selection and management process

We design, implement and monitor the investment programs of companies’ defined contribution, deferred compensation and defined benefit plans. The organizations we work with invest with a specific focus but face a wide universe of constraints. We will help you maintain the most competitive cost structure, formalize investment committee decision-making processes and manage regulatory requirements while servicing as a 3(21) or 3(38) fiduciary.

By accessing the intellectual capital of UBS, as well as its in-depth manager research capabilities, we combine global insights and analyses with an open architecture mix of managers and funds. This allows us to develop investment programs tailored to the specific goals and objectives of each organization.
