Agility Strategy

The Agility platform was created to provide outsourced investment solutions for clients. Serving as a client's Outsourced Investment Team, we offer customized investment programs that meet our clients' individual needs. We have extensive experience and execute a proven and disciplined due diligence process to identify and invest with top managers across asset classes. 
   

Our team of professionals has decades of experience both working with endowments and foundations and hands-on investment expertise. With comprehensive investment capabilities, we seek to provide our clients with customized solutions to meet their individual investment requirements. 

 

Our Approach

We use a detailed, proprietary methodology as well as internal and external tools to measure and manage risk in client portfolios.
 

Our approach focuses on constructing diversified portfolios for the long-term by investing across geographies, asset classes, managers, and positions. 

 

The Agility Value Proposition

 

The Case for Outsourcing:

Today, the investment landscape is global and more complex than ever. At many institutions, investment management is often under-resourced, and attracting and retaining specialized in-house investment talent is both difficult and expensive. To be an effective fiduciary now requires an institutional approach involving investment, risk management, legal, compliance, and operational expertise. 


The Perella Weinberg Agility Solution:

Agility was founded solely to provide unique investment solutions for our clients. We can serve as an extension of your staff or volunteer board and offer customized investment programs designed to complement the remainder of your portfolio. We use a diversified, multi-asset class approach with a long-term investment horizon. The Investment Team is supported by experienced legal, compliance, risk management, trading and operational teams. Together, we form strategic partnerships with our clients.
