A Customized Approach That Sets Us Apart
Because one solution does not meet the needs of every client, we take a consultative, holistic approach that is focused on your unique situation.
Through close collaboration, we gain an in-depth understanding of your organization, create an unbiased solution that is tailored to your specific goals, and provide customizable reporting tools. We understand that your needs vary significantly and may include asset liability management, operating income needs, portfolio yield targets, tax considerations, product development, and/or Enterprise Financial Modeling (EFM). Our approach leverages the knowledge and experience of specialized teams that work together to customize your solution:
Investment Strategy Team
Delivers up-to-date insight through proprietary research publications, white papers, market outlooks and topical market commentary. Factors in regulatory and investment policy considerations when recommending modifications.
Portfolio Management Team
Utilizes the asset allocation recommendations of Asset Management Group (AMG) to develop and manage institutional portfolios, and constructs and recommends derivatives-based approaches to implement strategic, tactical, or hedging strategies.
Manager Research and Product Management Team
Provides third-party investment manager selection and monitoring services, with dedicated professionals to provide operational due diligence across traditional and alternative managers.
Liquidity and Fixed Income Management for Insurance Organizations
No two insurance portfolios are the same. Through close monitoring and deep conversation, we aim to discover the specific needs of your portfolio, define a custom approach, and to adapt our approach as your needs evolve.
Through PNC Capital Advisors, LLC (PCA), a registered investment advisor and wholly owned subsidiary of PNC Bank, clients can craft separately managed fixed-income accounts that are tailored to their objectives.
Rather than using a product-based approach, PCA uses a solutions-based perspective, helping you benefit from the discipline and risk-focused advice of an experienced team that delivers:
- Liquidity solutions for pursuing yield and return goals while also managing the cadence of cash flows
- Custom solutions that are tailored to your specific needs and objectives
- Broad market portfolios that utilize traditional fixed-income strategies and benchmark-based objectives for total return
