In a move to further shift the consulting industry toward a new paradigm, AndCo hires two investment veterans and state pension plan professionals.
Former CIO and Deputy CIO of the $18 Billion Kentucky Retirement Systems pension plan, Rich Robben and Andy Kiehl, are joining AndCo and will focus on helping to grow and serve the public pension plan business.
AndCo senior management said the hires are consistent with AndCo’s vision statement “To be a transformational organization viewed as the leader in our industry.” “We believe many consulting models are stuck in mediocrity, often delivering house views or group think and offering little or no customization to the overall investment decision process. Rich and Andy are strong additions to our team of professionals and believe in our customized client solution service approach. Adding two practitioners who have managed and allocated assets from a client’s perspective in the large public plan space will bring a wealth of practical experience and further enhance our ability to add tangible value for our clients.”
Rich and Andy will join the firm as consultants on October 5th.
