Research Group

Our large, in-house Research Department aids the Investment Policy Committee (IPC) with every step of the investment process.

The Research Group is organized into teams focused in four primary areas—Applied Research, Theoretical Research, Suitability Analysis and Portfolio Implementation.


Responsibilities of Our Research Group

Each team has unique responsibilities, including analyzing economic trends, sector and industry updates, evaluating securities, calculating performance and implementing the IPC's portfolio decisions.
