What does it take to be a true partner to a large institutional allocator, rather than just one manager among many? In a recent asset manager profile by Pensions & Investments, Ben Huneke and Rui de Figueiredo explain why allocators are moving away from picking managers asset class by asset class and instead looking for partners who can see the whole portfolio — resilience, liquidity, and returns together. From insurance-specific solutions that navigate regulatory and rating-agency constraints, to a broadening private markets opportunity set, to technology-driven customization, they lay out how specialized expertise and platform scale work together rather than against each other.
