Investment Solutions for a Complex World

 

Hirtle Callaghan is committed to changing the investment industry, one client at a time. 

 

We began in 1988 when we realized that our industry was malformed with a grotesquely overdeveloped "sell side" and a dramatically insufficient "buy side."  Large, sophisticated, product-driven, conflict-laden investment banks dominated the investment landscape.  There were no great institutions dedicated solely to providing investors with complete solutions rather than just component choices or buyer beware products. 

 

As the investment marketplace has become dramatically more complex, we are more convinced than ever that our industry needs an institution with the size, sophistication, objectivity and culture to represent the interests of serious investors in the global marketplace. 

 

 

We are that institution.  

 

Serious investors are justifiably concerned by the "tipping point" of complexity that has been reached in today's investment marketplace.  How can fiduciaries expect to build and supervise the highest quality investment program in a world of unprecedented volatility and number of component choices? The largest, most sophisticated investors in the world rely on a fully-staffed internal investment department, led by a qualified Chief Investment Officer. 

 

Hirtle Callaghan pioneered the concept of delivering that same solution via outsourcing.  Our conflict free structure, sophisticated capability and collective purchasing power, make us uniquely suited to harness market complexity and deliver a complete, custom designed investment solution - at no incremental cost.  Consequently, Hirtle Callaghan has become one of America's largest privately held asset management firms.
