Investment

Watson Wyatt's Investment Practice employs more than 200 investment consultants worldwide and serves a client base of more than 500 funds with assets worth over $1 trillion. Many of our clients - drawn from a wide spectrum of pension funds, investment management organisations and other institutional investors - are included in the Financial Times 1000 and the Fortune 1000 lists.

We help our clients develop disciplined and efficient investment strategies to meet their investment goals. This offers involvement in one or more of the following areas, depending on your background and interests:

  • Asset Liability Modelling

  • General Consulting

  • Global Investment Manager Research Group

  • Global Investment Management Services.

Asset Liability Modelling

Using our industry-leading Asset Liability Modelling and Structured Alpha™ tools, you'll help our clients model different investment scenarios aimed at ensuring the most efficient investment strategy possible is implemented.

General Consulting

Most consultants in the group work in general consulting teams, each advising a portfolio of clients on their investment strategy. Consultants also carry out - to a greater or lesser degree - research into investment management organisations. Assignments can be on a country-specific or multinational basis, with an increasing number of consultants moving around our global network on a temporary or permanent basis.

Global Investment Manager Research Group

Our global network of manager research allows us to identify suitable investment management vendors with the right capabilities for our clients' needs. Our experts are organised into ASK teams (Areas of Specialist Knowledge). There is an ASK team for each main asset class (UK equities, US equities, global equities etc) as well as specialist teams with knowledge of areas such as transaction management and custody. Research is, as indicated, carried out by general consultants or as has recently occurred through specialist researchers.

Global Investment Management Services

This group advises investment management organisations worldwide on strategic issues affecting the management of their businesses.
