Kanne Paris & Hoban, which manages $25 million, plans to launch small-cap value and large-cap yield strategies as part of its plan to boost its marketing to pension funds, including 401(k) plans. David P. Goliber, senior vice president and partner, said the small-cap portfolio will be ready in a few weeks, and the large-cap value strategy will be available midyear. The firm is discussing joining 401(k) alliances with some groups, said Mr. Goliber. Also, the firm added Peter Wells as a portfolio manager and partner. Mr. Wells retired from Allstate Insurance, where he was chief investment planning officer.
