Greenwich Quality Leader

 
Quality Leader
We are proud to announce that ACG has again been named a Greenwich Quality Leader - recognized for our investment consulting capabilities. This award is based on a number of factors and a culmination of extensive nationwide interviews with institutional investors. We are grateful to have been given this honor and we appreciate the opportunity to partner with our clients as their trusted advisor.
 
 

Methodology and Disclosure:  Between February and November of 2022, Coalition Greenwich (previously known as Greenwich Associates), conducted in-person and phone interviews and online surveys with 727 professionals at 590 of the largest tax-exempt funds in the United States, including corporate and union funds, public funds, endowments and foundations, insurance general accounts, and healthcare organizations, with either pension or investment pool assets greater than $150 million. Study participants were asked to provide quantitative and qualitative evaluations of their asset managers and investment consultants, including qualitative assessments of those firms soliciting their business and detailed information on important market trends. ACG is one of four firms recognized in the mid-size investment consultant category. The ratings may not be representative of any one client’s experience with ACG; rather they are representative of those clients that chose to participate in the survey. The results are not indicative of ACG’s future performance.  ACG does not pay to have its clients participate in the study.

Is Cash King?

The Federal Reserve raised interest rates 5.25% over the last two years – an abrupt shift from previous zero-interest rate policy. Yields above 5% have attracted investors to money market funds as total assets grew ~20% in 2023 to more than $6 trillion. While holding more cash may help ease investors’ concerns around short-term volatility, holding too much cash may actually increase the probability that a portfolio falls short of its long-term goals and objectives.
