About Us

The early mission of Asset Dedication grew out of a research project at the University of San Francisco’s School of Business in the late 1990’s. Its focus was to engineer retirement income portfolios for individual investors using the liability-driven method of investing that is common within the institutional world. From this research emerged a concept and process for balancing the risks of volatility and longevity through a goals and time-based approach to asset allocation. The cornerstone of this idea is using individual bonds to match a retiree’s income stream. Since 1999, Asset Dedication has evolved into a turnkey asset management platform for financial planners across the country.
