As the leader of a global private markets investment firm, I have had the pleasure of working with Robert for more than 20 years, first as a senior investment consultant with a global firm and subsequently as the Chief Investment Officer of a leading Canadian pension plan. Robert has been a constructive and value-added investment partner. His experience spans the investment process, from strategic asset allocation to opportunity identification, evaluation and execution, and extends through to asset management, valuation and reporting.

Robert and I worked together for many years as partners on a large number of commercial and residential investments across Europe. Robert was actively associated with those investments and his engagement was always strategic, informed, collaborative and insightful.” former Fund Manager, Executive Committee, Europa Capital.

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.

I’ve known and worked with Robert for several years, first as a volunteer at CFA Society Toronto and later in my role as CEO. Robert is a strategic and clear thinker and is very focused on achieving outcomes on the issues that matter most. He has a “listen-first” mentality and seeks to build consensus among all stakeholders while ensuring that decisions get made effectively and in a timely manner. CFA Society Toronto could not have achieved its successes without his contributions, wise counsel and unwavering support.

I worked with Robert for the last 8 years and he not only consistently delivered top tier performance results as the Chief Investment Officer, but he had a steadfast commitment to integrity, is a great leader, strategic thinker, and a very effective Committee Chair.

As the CIO of a mid-size pension plan, I have found Robert’s practical experience invaluable. His deep expertise in investment strategies, portfolio structuring, governance issues, and earning the trust of boards and committees has been instrumental. Robert’s approach to dynamically manage asset mix is particularly noteworthy. His unique perspective, having once been in my position, sets him apart from other advisors. His advice and insights have greatly benefited our organization.
