Innovation
At Cardano, innovation is driven by a combination of uncovering clients’ needs together with applying proven concepts in Quantitative Finance, Risk Management and Investment Management. In fact, Cardano was first formed with the idea of providing new applications of Quantitative Risk Management principles from the banking world to the pension fund industry.
The recent successful introduction of Solvency Management shares similar innovative features, such as a complete integration of strategy, Manager Selection and Risk Management in a holistic investment process.
Recently, Cardano has been involved in a number of other innovative initiatives, both inside and outside the pensions industry. They range from being involved in the discussions about pension plan design, including hybrid Defined Benefit/Defined Contribution plans, to the introduction of new instruments to mitigate extreme market risk for Defined Benefit pension plans.
