Buck Global Investment Advisors (BGIA) comprises more than 50 investment professionals, advising more than 400 clients on the investment of assets valued at more than £31 billion.
BGIA provides a full range of investment consulting solutions including: strategies to reduce the risk of pension investments; global investment manager and technical research to support employers’ needs in all regions; and a range of risk-modeling tools to support dynamic asset allocation policies for defined benefit (DB) pension plans.
Also included are governance and fund option reviews for defined contribution (DC) plans, including analysis of default fund options; medium-term asset allocation models that offer greater flexibility to long-term investment strategies by allowing employers to make timely and profitable investment decisions; and pensions and investment risk management services that allow Buck advisors to take control and responsibility for the active management of DB pension plan assets on behalf of employers.
