For institutional investors such as pension funds and insurance companies, fiduciary services offer an alternative to maintaining an in-house investment department. Fiduciary management provides access to expertise and investment sectors that in the past were only open to the largest institutional investors. Fiduciary management enables the executives of pension funds and insurance companies to remain independent and flexible. It gives them continuous access to the management information they require while allowing them to focus on matters of policy.

Projects that Asset Advisors has implemented for pension funds and insurance companies include:

• Searching for and selecting fiduciary managers, custodian companies, and transition managers;
• Assessing investment proposals made by asset managers (including fiduciary managers);
• Monitoring results achieved by the fiduciary manager;
• Setting up an asset pooling structure;
