Why SAA? Investment Philosophy

The SAA Philosophy: A consistent, proven approach to adding value that is documented for senior management and the Board.

Strong investment results require a strong investment process. This goes beyond choosing the right investment manager.

We work with the entire “Investment Process Value Chain” to create and build value for insurance companies and risk pools.

Strategic Asset Alliance customizes its various consulting services to help clients achieve their investment goals and objectives.

| How SAA is Different from Other Consultants >>

Our philosophy unites four key investment cornerstones to provide improvement and consistency to your insurer or risk pool’s investment program.
  • Investment Process is Key
  • Active Management for Fixed Income
  • Passive Management for Public Equities
  • Alternative Assets Not Suitable for Insurers & Risk Pools
