Allocators’ Choice Awards Categories

Partnership of the Year

Think: Texas Teachers’ strategic partnerships with large private equity houses. Don’t think: Simply buying off-the-shelf asset management services. 2017 winner: State of Wisconsin Investment Board, for the completion of a “three-and-a-half year, $48 million technology overhaul” with the help of project consultant Citisoft, an undertaking “involving eight new technology solutions to deploy daily investment book of record data supporting the long-term needs of the investment management group” — and which required “replacing the entire technology infrastructure.” The enterprise, according to Citisoft, is “one of the most transformative projects by either a public or private pension fund.”

2017年冠军：Hartford HealthCare&Neuberger Berman。CIO David Holmgren和他的团队为他们与基金经理的密切关系而自豪，基金与纽伯格伯曼的关系也不例外。从2013年Hartford Healthcare首次向Neuberger secondaries基金发起私募股权投资，到近年来推出一项未经考验的“消费者品牌授权”战略，再到共同赞助投资专业人士聚会，这两个组织建立了持久的战略伙伴关系。

Turnaround of the Year

Think: Cleaning up New York State Common Retirement Fund after the pay-to-play scandal. Don’t think: Doing the same thing as last year; making an already-great fund marginally better.

2017年获奖者：美国红十字会，现任前首席信息官格雷格·威廉姆森。他通过“一周工作七天”和雇佣优秀人才重建了后台、风险管理系统和投资团队，比如简·韦斯特（前波音长期运营负责人）和卡罗尔·安妮·林赛（乔治·华盛顿大学捐赠基金的校友）。

年度技术用户

Think: The Alberta Investment Management Corporation’s custom-built portfolio dashboard system. Don’t think: A specific product or tech provider, but rather an institution’s top-notch application of a product.

2017年获胜者：威斯康星州投资委员会，在项目顾问Citisoft的帮助下完成了“三年半，4800万美元的技术大修”，一项承诺“涉及八项新技术解决方案，以部署每日投资记录簿数据，支持投资管理集团的长期需求”，并要求“更换整个技术基础设施”。Citisoft称，该企业是“两个公司中最具变革性的项目之一”公共或私人养老基金。”

年度变革制造者

Think: Iconoclastic. United Technologies’ annuity-style 401(k) option; CalPERS’ divesting from hedge funds. Don’t think: A larger or especially successful implementation of the industry status quo.

2017年获奖者：德克萨斯州教师退休制度，1-30收费模式。一位被提名者指出：“如果1或30只对德克萨斯州有效——也许，在很大程度上对潜在的对冲基金有效——这将改变游戏规则。”。尽管改变收费结构的举措“遇到了一些犹豫”（许多对冲基金问机构投资者谁同意新收费，谁说不被解雇），但最初的反应基本上是积极的。“虽然德克萨斯州的测试结果在我们经历一个完整的周期之前还不知道，”但“很难说TRS如果成功，将改变对冲基金的支付方式。”亚博赞助欧冠

年度最佳团队

想一想：曾经担任克莱斯勒财政部职能的集团，后来在整个公司和捐赠基金领域成为首席信息官。别想：你的首席信息官；一个超级明星首席信息官，似乎没有人知道他的副手。

2017 winner: State of Wisconsin Investment Board. A “home to top talent in American public fund investing,” SWIB “comes closer to Canadian and Nordic funds in their portfolios than almost any other major American fund, largely on the back of David Villa and the talent he has brought in-house.” Multiple nominators mentioned Dominic Garcia, the fund of funds manager and “point man on many external relationships,” as a “key member of the team.”

Investment Committee/Board of the Year

Think: A public pension board that lowers its assumed rate of return, despite political pressure. Don’t think: Famous names alone are enough.

2017年冠军：Hartford HealthCare。首席信息官云集的投资委员会是该基金持续高回报背后的“关键因素”。该委员会由安泰保险首席信息官让·拉托尔（Jean LaTorre）和Eversource Utilities投资总监鲍勃·迪安杰洛（Bob DeAngelo）等行业实践者组成，他们“始终站在业内人士的角度”，并始终致力于“大局”。尽管他们可能会挑战首席信息官大卫·霍尔姆格伦（David Holmgren）及其团队，“就像其他首席信息官一样”，但“绝对是个天才”这个团体也是“合作和支持的”

年度首席投资官

Think: Jack Meyer, during his tenure at Harvard. Any investment chief exhibiting all-around excellence at portfolio construction, risk management, asset allocation, manager selection, board relations, and talent development — or one who has built a team achieving all that. Don’t think: Only CIOs of large funds.

2017 winner: Jason Klein of the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. “Smart,” savvy, thoughtful, generous — “Jason is the kind of guy who will literally give you the watch off his wrist.” Klein is among the most-liked figures in the burgeoning health care investment scene, and leads the young community with grace and vigor. “This guy is as good as the institution he’s investing for.”
