Pentegra Investment Management Capabilities
Our Difference. Your Advantage. The Pentegra name was derived from the words pension + integrity. That’s because integrity is at the foundation of everything we do. For more than 75 years, we’ve delivered a different approach to every client investment solution. It begins with a strategic understanding of client needs, and putting those needs first. At Pentegra, integrity is more than just implied in our name.
What Makes Us Different? An Independent Approach We are not a “Wall Street” firm, or owned by a larger financial services organization, mutual fund or insurance company. We do not manage or sell proprietary products. We are independent from the inherent conflicts surrounding most financial services organizations, and our focus has always been to enhance the value of our clients.
Unparalleled Governance Pentegra does not answer to shareholders, we answer to our clients. Our Boards of Directors are made up of our clients, FHLB Presidents that serve on a rotating basis and CEOs of financial corporations, who use our investment services and place their own futures in our hands. Our Board Members act as fiduciaries and monitor all investment activities in that capacity. This translates into a no-nonsence conservative approach to product and portfolio development.
