Government Pension Plans

A research-driven, tailored approach for the long term

Your beneficiaries and stakeholders want transparency, sound governance, and solid investment performance to meet your plan’s long term expected rate of return. You carefully set a strategic plan, evaluate investment opportunities and risk, and consider costs within a complex investment structure. Callan will partner with you every step of the way.

We’ve listened and learned from clients like you. Your unique characteristics and complexities require a tailored approach supported by a well-documented, research driven, peer-reviewed process.

We will partner with you for the long term through policy reviews, market cycles, adjustments to your strategic asset allocation, selection of public and private market managers, and cost management evaluations. 

We will provide you with the education, research and tailored reporting you need to make and support your decisions. 

Our experienced consultants — backed by expert research specialists — will work with you to create a true investment partnership that keeps your unique needs, goals, and beneficiaries at the center of the conversation.
