The Value of Portfolio Management

Reporting

Effective, consistent communication is the foundation of a successful relationship.

We provide clear, concise performance reporting that speaks to all stakeholders of the organization, such as the CFO, Investment Committee and Board.

We work with institutions to determine a reporting schedule that aligns with their preferences.

 

Investment Management

Our portfolio managers are responsible for ensuring that your investments remain aligned with your organization’s Investment Policy Statement (IPS).

This includes ongoing monitoring, periodic rebalancing, and continuous research to ensure that the securities in the portfolio continue to meet your objectives and represent the most suitable options available.

Cash Management

PWL Capital works closely with each institution to understand its cash flow requirements and liquidity needs.

We design investment strategies that ensure sufficient liquidity is available for short-term obligations while optimizing the long-term growth of capital.

This may include maintaining a dedicated liquidity reserve, using high-interest savings vehicles or money-market funds, and structuring the portfolio to match cash needs with investment horizons.

Spending Policy Guidance

Planning for the future is challenging.

We have specialized tools to help stress test portfolios against market volatility and other external shocks that may require the use of long term assets to support operational deficits.

PWL is well versed in the tradeoffs of these various spending policies and has a research team that is dedicated to remaining at the cutting edge of this literature.

What are PWL Capital's fiduciary duties?

PWL Capital has a fiduciary duty to its clients, which means we have a legal responsibility to always act in your best interests. We take that responsibility very seriously.

We focus on understanding our clients’ unique circumstances and aspirations and offer the most appropriate solutions at all times.

We at PWL believe financial advisors should have a fiduciary duty to their clients. Last year we formalized this commitment by gaining certification by the Centre for Fiduciary Excellence (CEFEX), an independent global organization that helps determine the trustworthiness of investment advisors.

What types of Institutions does PWL Capital work with?

PWL Capital partners with a wide range of mission-driven institutions, including charitable foundations, endowments, and not-for-profit organizations.

What is PWL Capital Wealth Management Philosophy?

Our portfolio management philosophy relies on academic research that demonstrates that markets are efficient and that prices reflect all available information. The best way to capture what the markets offer is to have a low-cost, broadly diversified portfolio that matches your risk tolerance.

Is PWL Capital an independent firm?

Yes! PWL Capital was founded in 1996 as an independent firm and has remained so ever since. This independence means that we can serve you without outside influence or pressure.

Our employees are our shareholders. Together, we developed a hundred-year ownership vision that ensures we will remain fiercely independent and continue to provide conflict-free financial advice and portfolio management services to our clients.

Do you Offer ESG Investment Solutions?

PWL Capital offers sustainable investment solutions for institutional clients who wish to align their portfolios with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations. We can incorporate ESG factors into portfolio construction, engage with asset managers on responsible investing practices, and provide reporting on sustainability metrics where available. Our approach to ESG investing is grounded in evidence-based investing and tailored to each organization’s values, mandate, and long-term goals.
