Automized investment evaluation for ABP
Published on January 11, 2006
THE NETHERLANDS ABP Pension Fund has selected ORTEC’s performance and risk management system PEARL. PEARL enables ABP to analyze all past investment decisions which is of considerable importance for the strategic policy of pension funds and asset managers. In addition, ABP can better manage its investment strategy and improve the total (risk-adjusted) performance using PEARL.
ABP was looking for a highly flexible, yet standard system, to accommodate its extensive set of requirements. In addition, the system must continuously meet demands in case of regulatory changes. PEARL supports all these requirements.
After reference visits to Shell Pension Fund and SPF Beheer, ABP was convinced that after implementation and training of their staff by ORTEC, ABP will be entirely self-supporting in operating the system.
