L5F Institutional provides fee-based investment advice to endowments, foundations, corporate pension and retirement plans, public pensions and Taft-Hartley plans. L5F Institutional’s professional investment management services fully implement the tenets of fiduciary prudence and Modern Portfolio Theory.
L5F Institutional begins by educating investment committees and plan trustees regarding the intrinsic relationship between risk, return, time and diversification. This meaningful education enables committee members and plan sponsors to make informed investment decisions for plan assets that are in keeping with fiduciary prudence, mitigating liability concerns.
L5F Institutional matches institutions with portfolios by carefully measuring risk capacity and risk exposure, providing the ability to earn optimal risk-adjusted returns. L5F Institutional assists clients in the creation, purchase, and rebalancing of portfolios comprised of risk-engineered and globally diversified blends of passively managed exchange traded funds and index funds.
Extensive research shows that active management and fund speculation lead to increased expenses that have shown to negatively impact returns over time, while adding excessive and unrewarded risk. Hundreds of peer-reviewed academic studies and more than 89 years of risk and return data support L5F Institutional’s passive strategy that controls costs and replaces speculation with risk-optimization and global diversification.
