Our approach
Each investor has a unique set of objectives, risk preferences and constraints that will be considered to create thoughtful and effective investment solutions. We use our proprietary risk management tools to understand and model the different investment risk factors. This helps us determine the potential trade-offs from various investment alternatives and calibrate various risk parameters like tracking error. Ultimately, we combine these results with the plan sponsor’s investment preferences to arrive at a suitable selection of instruments and solutions. Portfolio managers continuously monitor the performance of all strategies, re-evaluate risk dynamics and search for cost-saving implementation options as markets evolve.

Past performance should not be taken as an indication or guarantee of future performance and no representation, express or implied, is made regarding future performance or that LGIMA’s investment or risk management process will be successful.
In certain strategies, LGIMA might utilize derivative securities which inherently include a higher risk than other investments strategies. Investors should consider these risks with the understanding that the strategy may not be successful and work in all market conditions. Reference to an index does not imply that an LGIMA portfolio will achieve returns, volatility or other results similar to the index. You cannot invest directly in an index, therefore, the composition of a benchmark index may not reflect the manner in which an LGIMA portfolio is constructed in relation to expected or achieved returns, investment holdings, portfolio guidelines, restrictions, sectors, correlations, concentrations, volatility, or tracking error targets, all of which are subject to change over time.
