Hudson Pilot (HP) is an investment firm founded by senior management from Morgan Stanley Investment Management’s Global Pension Solutions. Traditional pension management strategies lead to large contribution requirements when the economy and stock prices are down, borrowing costs are high, and risk management is expensive. Hudson Pilot’s strategies attempt to keep costs low; avoid unforeseen contributions; and avoid a correlation between contribution requirements and the sponsor’s business. HP is an independent firm that has no propriety investment products and no financial relationships with third parties that could impede its ability to offer clients best-in-class solutions. HP was structured specifically to provide unbiased, cutting-edge investment solutions that create value through thought leadership, strategic partnerships, and disciplined risk management. Hudson Pilot’s diverse client base includes corporations (in a variety of sectors), public pension plans, insurance companies, endowments, and foundations. In addition, HP provides strategic advice to asset management firms.
