Segal Company

Investment Management

One of the responsibilities of managing a multi-employer benefits fund is ensuring that the fund is invested prudently. We recognize that multi-employer clients have unique requirements due to their unique structure.  Due to the difficulty of increasing employer contributions in the multi-employer setting, it is especially important to structure a prudently managed portfolio.

We provide "pure" investment consulting and are able to make unbiased recommendations because we are not associated with any investment managers or brokerage firms.
