2010 Transition Management Conference
A FREE one-day conference for pension plan sponsors, endowments, foundations and pension fund consultants.
The Year of Transition Management
It's never top of any pension fund plan sponsor's list of favorite things to do, but this year, hiring a transition manager will definitely be part of the must do list of many sponsors. After a year of wildly fluctuating markets, many plans are finally starting to make the changes that they were unwilling to consider when markets were in crisis. This may involve a total reassessment of the plan's asset allocation structure, a manager clearout or a simple rebalancing exercise. However, all of these involve moving assets - and when assets move, plan sponsors seek assistance, in this case in the form of a transition manager.
The logic of transition management has always been clear. These professionals are trained to control risk and minimize cost when assets are moving from one manager to another, or one strategy to another. But the benefits are highest when markets are volatile and the transition manager can demonstrate the costs associated with an unmanaged transition. In a year when volatility remains steadily high, plan sponsors will need to understand how best to manage their asset transitions.
