Craig French
LP
Since 1992 I have been employed by institutional investment firms managing proprietary bank capital and the investments of institutional clients including large corporate and public pension plans, high-net worth families and individuals. \n\nI have expertise in portfolio management, systems development, risk management, portfolio strategy and product management. I have been working in the alternative asset management business in these capacities for the past dozen years, and on the long-only side for nearly a decade prior to that. \n\nMy skill set includes an advanced understanding of financial markets, securities, asset allocation, portfolio construction, risk management, alternative investments and pension finance. My investment experience is broad across all major asset classes. I have a successful track record of managing complex investment portfolios, and a history of hiring, supervising and managing investment staff.\n\nIn both of my two most recent investment roles since 2001, I was a senior investment professional reporting directly to the CEO of the firm. I developed and executed investment policy, and evaluated and managed both external investment managers and internally managed portfolio hedging strategies. I served on the investment committees of both firms, and in such capacity formulated and implemented long term investment plans, strategic and tactical asset allocation policies, risk management policies and portfolio construction processes. I have developed effective manager guidelines and also evaluated and performed extensive due diligence on investment strategies and sub-advisors. \n\nI am most proud of the fact that for my entire career I have contributed to the successful track records of my firms, adding value, both in the absolute sense and also as compared to appropriate benchmarks, for our clients. \n\nFINRA CRD# 3048175
