In the U.S., Institutional Funds are Changing in Different Ways
• Corporate funds are faced with huge funding gaps.– De-risking DB plans– Risk management is front and center– Shifting to DC
• Public funds are also faced with huge funding gaps and searching for ways to reach unachievable goals.– Political pressures growing– Focus on returns to close funding gaps– Staying with DB plans – for now
• The endowment model has been reaffirmed.– Closer link to sponsoring institution– Renewed appreciation for liquidity– Alternatives continue to dominate
Channel management has become more important

Traditional and “Alternative” Managers Are Converging
Rationale: Investors and consultants re-examining the necessity of constraints on
managers
Some success by eliminating constraints where there is little economic rationale such as liquidity issues, style box adherence, no shorting and leverage allowed
Following hedge fund “invest wherever and in any way” approaches, traditional managers are transitioning into absolute return-oriented approaches

Sticky relationships include multiple mandates to limit client loss during periods of underperformance.
Clients include largest and most sophisticated global institutional investors.
Sales and relationship management requires sophisticated consultative investment professionals skilled at identifying client needs.
Advisory services are an explicit business offering, utilizing a fully developed range of sales executives, relationship managers, product specialists and advisers to service clients.
