BNY Global Transition Management Introduces Short-Term Asset Management Solution
Teams with BNY Asset Management to Offer New Investment OptionsNEW YORK, September 25, 2006 -- The Bank of New York’s BNY Global Transition Management business has introduced an asset management solution to help its clients minimize risk and maximize the short-term investment potential of funds during a shift in asset allocation or overall portfolio strategy.
The new solution provides clients with an array of passively managed collective trust funds, including nine equity funds based on Russell indexes and one fixed income fund based on the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index. These funds, which are managed by BNY Asset Management, offer clients low-cost, flexible investment options as they transition to a new target portfolio.
The solution is the latest addition to BNY Global Transition Management’s comprehensive suite of risk management tools that span the transition cycle. These include an array of pre-trade portfolio analytics that provide clients with in-depth risk measurement and enable them to customize their asset transfer strategy based on specific characteristics of their portfolios. During the transition itself, an overlay capability enables clients to hedge risks by means of futures and ETFs, while post-trade analysis provides a rigorous assessment of the costs and overall success of the transition strategy.
Kal Bassily, CFA, managing director and head of BNY Global Transition Management, said, “This solution reflects our commitment to meeting the full range of transition needs across the investment cycle and demonstrates our ability to add value at different stages of the transition process. Our dedicated global team of experts can customize end-to-end transitions within a conflict-free agency environment and implement a transition strategy that can preserve a plan’s assets, minimize market impact, manage risk and reduce cost.”
