Asset allocation is a board's most important investment decision.
The Callan specialists who undertake an asset allocation and liability study and capital market assumptions are members of the Quantitative Consulting Group, a select team of economists and mathematicians. This group is responsible for research in the fields of asset allocation and strategic planning, as well as for developing econometric tools and statistical models that enable plan sponsors to predict the possible outcomes of their investment decisions. The group also conducts client-specific research projects, including the examination of new asset classes and the development of appropriate due diligence documentation for a client's portfolio. Few companies have as large and capable a research resource. The sole responsibility of the Global Manager Research Department is to research investment management organizations and investment products.
