Institutional Consulting

 
 
Institutional investors face many unique issues, and Baird’s professionals offer solutions based on experience and deep expertise. We understand that members of endowment, foundation, benefit and other investment committees have a significant responsibility with respect to the assets under your care and you may not have the time, resources or expertise required to develop, implement, and monitor a disciplined, long-range investment strategy.

That's where we can help. Baird is able to take an independent, unbiased, and consultative approach to seeking out effective investment solutions. Investment Consulting Services employs state-of-the-art technology and investment knowledge to deliver the same kind of disciplined decision-making process that institutional investors have employed for decades in managing their investments.

Baird’s broad network of industry expertise and objective approach to investment advice uniquely position us to help endowments, foundations, defined benefit plans and defined contribution plans develop and implement investment policies aligned with their unique goals and objectives. Our capabilities include the development of an appropriate investment policy, implementation of the investment policy and ongoing monitoring of the asset allocation and investment managers relative to the objectives established in the investment policy statement, as well as asset management.
