How do we... |
Bellwether can... |
 |
Enhance company performance by
achieving maximum after-tax 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
maintain stable credit ratings? |
|
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. |
|
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. |
