Pension investment consultants use their pension expertise to provide advice and insight on defined benefit and defined contribution plans, as well as other institutions such as university endowments. We work specifically with corporations, and client assets range in size from under a million, to multi-billions of dollars. At the analyst level, work consists of gathering, analyzing and presenting data in such a way that clients can understand and make the best decisions for their company."
