11-member council will help inform TIIP’s agenda as it expands initiatives to drive system-level investing practices across the global investing landscape.
NEW YORK, NY, September 22, 2021 – The Investment Integration Project (TIIP), an applied research and consulting firm, today announced the launch of its strategic Advisory Council. Inaugural members include asset owners and managers who represent a wide variety of investor segments, including pension fund managers, investment advisors, consultants and asset managers.
“The diversity of expertise on our Advisory Council reflects an urgent awareness among investors of the connection between healthy portfolio returns and healthy global systems,” said William Burckart, TIIP’s President and COO. “The influence, knowledge and experience the Council brings to our organization will help us shape the future of TIIP and system-level investing by turbocharging how we provide investors with the tools and insights to consider the big-picture environmental, social, or financial systems’ context of their security selection and portfolio construction decisions – not at the expense of long-term investment prospects, but rather to support them.”
The Advisory Council represents a “learning community” of leaders that will help determine TIIP’s future and potentially inform the system-level investment decisions of other asset owners and managers. Members include:
- Noel Pacarro Brown, First Vice President, The Conscious Wealth Management Group at Morgan Stanley
