Specialist services

As the investing industry grows and matures, and governance requirements sharpen the focus on planning and portfolio structure, strategic thinking and quantitative analytical prowess will be the key to proactive and powerful decision making.

Your challenge is to continue to deliver outperformance and solutions that are attuned to the market. There’s a lot to think about and we’re thinking about it every day. Use our insights.

We offer a range of specialist strategic services that sit alongside the traditional realm of investment consulting. Investors that integrate product and service design, their approach to compliance, and the management of their portfolios, will find real market advantage.

We do things differently because each of our clients is different, and the Australian market in which we operate is different.

GARDS

Led by Principal Consultant, Natasha Kronouer,, our Governance Advice, Risk, Decisions and Strategy (GARDS) specialist team provides bespoke advice and research on business strategy, investment governance and decision-making structures, in-housing and insourcing, and risk reporting frameworks.

The team provides assistance in achieving clarity on the investment philosophy/process along with tailored design, implementation and review of investment governance models, including decision making, strategic issues and risk management.

Member solutions

Our extensive research into retirement solutions, led by David Carruthers, means we can assist superannuation funds design products which better meet the needs of retirees. In understanding the risks and challenges members face, funds can take advantage of the opportunities this fundamental market shift offers.

Frontier can offer analysis and advice around member needs and behaviours, projections, product innovation and design, member engagement and communication, and aligning business objectives, evolving cash flows and investment strategy.

We believe integrating product and investment solutions will be the key for super funds to create differentiation.

Quantitative solutions

Managing billions of dollars of retirement savings for members means trustees and executives need a deep understanding of their portfolios and members’ changing dimensions. Quantitative analytical prowess will become the key to proactive and powerful decision making.

Frontier offers specialist commissioned and tailored modelling and technical tools for either direct application or supported with our analysis and advice.

Analysing the impact of shifts in member numbers, testing D-day scenarios and portfolio stress, preparing predictive models for GFC type events, forecasting switching behaviour and impacts, modelling pension transition impacts, and preparing for liquidity requirements. There’s a lot to think about.

Our quantitative analysis and modelling capability allow us to provide powerful and expert insights and forecasts around both market dynamics and tailored scenarios. Our Quantitative Solutions Group, led by Michael Sofer, can work with you to tailor models and tools fit for your specific requirements.
