Board & Investment Committee Member Services

As a Board/Investment Committee member, your organization will gain from my extensive expertise with investment-related companies, pension funds, and trusts. I offer a proven track record and profound understanding of board governance, further fortified by valuable insights acquired through the ICD.D program

Investment Advisory for Institutional Investors

With a proven track record in strategic and dynamic investment decision-making as the Chief Investment Officer of a large Pension Fund, I offer guidance aimed at optimizing investment portfolios. My advice is centered on leveraging current market insights, managing risks effectively, and aligning investments with specific goals and objectives.

Alternative Investment Advisory for Investors

A conventional approach to investment strategies and managers typically yields conventional results. Based on my experience, while conventional methods are straightforward to implement, success in considering alternative strategies or private market investments demands an unconventional approach. My advisory services are geared towards delivering substantial value by advising on alternative and private market investment strategies and funds.

Investment Advisory for Asset Management Companies

Drawing from over three decades of management and advisory experience, including Chief Investment Officer of a major pension fund, I offer strategic investment advice tailored to asset management organizations. My expertise includes assessing and advising on investment solutions, understanding institutional investor needs, and providing insights into opportunities for growth.

“With over 40 years of experience in leading institutional asset management firms, I have had the privilege of working with many competent plan sponsors and their related teams. Robert Cultraro is among the very best of that leadership group – always putting the interests of retirees and plan participants in the forefront of his efforts. His knowledge of plan objectives and the solutions available to meet those objectives is outstanding.”
