S&P DJI: Tell us a bit about Main Management and the clients you work with.
Kim: Main Management provides solutions to a wide range of institutional investors, high net worth advisors, investment advisors, and retirement plans.
We built this business 15 years ago with the goal of putting ourselves in the client’s shoes —the first way we were able to achieve this goal was to “have skin in the game,” so every partner has money invested with clients to make sure interests are fully aligned.
It’s also important to make the distinction that we are not a wealth manager, we are a money manager, which means we can be a partner with our clients, including financial advisors. With financial advisors in particular, we want to focus on their strengths, take part in their asset allocation, and deliver benchmark results in a costefficient manner. We understand that we aren’t immune to downturns in the market, so it’s important to communicate to clients why they are invested in specific strategies at different times.
