Why Leading OCIOs have Joined the Alpha Nasdaq OCIO Indices
“During a decade of strong growth in the US OCIO industry, aided by favorable and stable capital markets, asset owners, consultants and OCIO providers have lacked consensus on how to publish track records using a standard, consistent methodology,” said Samantha Davidson, CFA, Mercer’s US OCIO Leader. “As the industry has matured, customized OCIO solutions have flourished, causing many industry professionals to become wary that a lack of standardized reporting could lead to unwelcome surprises in the event of a sustained market downturn. Mercer is delighted to be able to contribute to the Alpha Nasdaq OCIO indices — not only to improve transparency for clients, but also to allow for improved communication about the implementation of our strategy with the consultant and asset owner communities.”
“It has historically been difficult for asset owners to compare OCIO results on an apples-to-apples basis. We are thrilled to contribute to this important tool for consistent, independent, and transparent evaluation of OCIO providers. Our thanks to Alpha Capital and Nasdaq for their efforts in driving this initiative forward.” Nimisha Srivastava, Head of Investments, North America for WTW
Tom Kennelly, Head of OCIO Investment Strategy for State Street Global Advisors, “The OCIO market continues to accelerate growth at an impressive pace. The broad interest from a variety of asset owner’s has increased the need for transparency and evaluation of performance among OCIO providers. While outsourced solutions are highly customized, the OCIO index provides another lens at which to objectively review performance.”
“We’ve witnessed a rapidly growing market without consistent standards by which participants are measured,” said Jed Laskowitz, Global Head of JP Morgan Asset Management Solutions. “Alpha Capital’s indices are an independent data source that provide additional transparency on OCIO performance and help us validate our own competitive positioning.”
Moustapha Abounadi, Head of Business Strategy for BNY Mellon Investor Solutions, “The lack of performance transparency is a key impediment to asset owners’ ability to evaluate and make informed decisions about OCIO providers. The Alpha Nasdaq OCIO indices represent an important step in dealing with this issue. We are therefore excited to contribute to this important initiative.”
Stephen McCourt, Meketa Co-CEO, “We believe the indices will provide institutions another avenue to evaluate performance of OCIO providers and are happy to participate.”
Brigid Peterson, Head of Endowments & Foundations for Brown Advisory, “Historically, OCIO providers and institutions have struggled to evaluate peer performance on an independent and consistent basis. The contributory model of Alpha Capital’s indices provide relevant points of comparison for institutions across OCIO providers. We see this as good news for the OCIO market overall and are happy to participate.”
