Connecticut -Pension Governance, LLC is proud to announce the launch of a new website for pension investment fiduciaries. In what is believed to be a unique online information portal devoted to pension investment risk and valuation issues, and reflecting original content from practitioners, www.pensiongovernance.com<\/a> combines independent analysis and research with commentary about urgent issues affecting both defined contribution and defined benefit plans.<\/p>\n

At a time when pension finance dominates headlines around the world, investment committee members, treasurers, CFOs and trustees are confronted with a slew of new challenges and a need to \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201cconnect the pension governance dots.\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d<\/p>\n

The primary goal is to empower investment fiduciaries with objective educational information about relevant issues before<\/span> they commit millions of dollars and countless hours to a particular strategy. Dr. Susan M. Mangiero, president of Pension Governance, LLC and author of Risk Management for Pensions, Endowments and Foundations<\/em>, adds, \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201cWe want to create a meaningful conversation about pressing and oft-complex investment and risk issues that are not going to go away any time soon. We have put together a top-notch group of contributing editors from a variety of disciplines, including law, insurance, treasury, alternative investments and corporate governance. Our strategic partners join us in our efforts to promote investment fiduciary education and best practices.\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d<\/p>\n

In addition to the Knowledge Center Library, the website includes interesting features such as Pension Chat (interviews with industry leaders), Courthouse Corner and Fiduciary Focus. Soon to come is the Pension Parade of Horribles, a source of information about bad practices and lessons learned.<\/p>\n

Subscribers can read annotated online articles from a variety of news sources, access research team members via Ask Professor Pension, download original content from expert practitioners, receive Pension Risk AlertSM<\/sup> and attend webinars for no additional fee. A forthcoming webinar is a June 4 discussion about 401(k) plan governance in the aftermath of the Pension Protection Act of 2006. Soon to be added is the Hedge Fund Toolbox, a series of discussions from the pension fiduciary perspective about transparency, fees, valuation, due diligence and risk management. Many other webinars are in the works and will be announced shortly.<\/p>\n

Web designer Dawn Barson, co-founder of think creative group, llc, describes the care taken to build an infrastructure that permits Pension Governance editors maximum flexibility. \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201cKnowing how much the editors want to keep the site fresh, we worked hard to build a robust administrative console so that new features can be added all the time.\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d Additional programming is already underway, with many more functions being designed to help investment fiduciaries access information and analysis quickly, easily and in a cost-effective manner.<\/p>\n

With over thirty years of experience in the pension industry, Dan Carter, Pension Governance Vice President of Business Development, describes a sea change in the challenges that confront fiduciaries. \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201cThere is so much to know in this field and getting it from independent sources is critical as never before.\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d Mangiero concurs, \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201cThere is no shortage of content.
