Philosophy As a consultant, we provide independent and customized investment counsel and consulting services to defined contribution retirement plan sponsors. At HRT we translate and integrate the activities of the investment advisors and money managers, the custodial bank, the transition managers and the actuary into an accessible format so that the trustee or fiduciary can make the proper decisions regarding the fund – and make these decisions with confidence. The hallmark of this approach is training and education so that a fiduciary will make the best decisions possible on behalf of the plan participants.

HRT seeks to provide that investment decisions are made in accordance with the fiduciary duties owed to its accounts and without consideration of HRT’s economic, investment or other financial interests. To meet its fiduciary obligations, HRT attempts to avoid, among other things, investment or trading practices that systematically advantage or disadvantage certain client portfolios, and accordingly, HRT’s policy is to seek fair and equitable allocation of investment opportunities/transactions among its clients to avoid favoring one client over another over time. It is HRT’s policy to allocate investment opportunities and transactions it identifies as being appropriate and prudent, including initial public offerings ("IPOs") and other investment opportunities that might have a limited supply, among its clients on a fair and equitable basis over time.
HRT may direct clients to third-party investment advisers to manage all or a portion of the client's assets. Before selecting other advisers for clients, HRT will always ensure those other advisers are properly licensed or registered as an investment adviser. HRT conducts due diligence on any third-party investment adviser, which may involve one or more of the following: phone calls, meetings and review of the third-party adviser's performance and investment strategy. HRT then makes investments with a third-party investment adviser by referring the client to the third-party adviser. These investments may be allocated either through the third-party adviser's fund or through a separately managed account managed by such third party adviser on behalf of HRT's client. HRT may also allocate among one or more private equity funds or private equity fund advisers. HRT will review the ongoing performance of the third-party adviser as a portion of the client's portfolio.
