As our country’s population ages, the importance of retirement security, whether through defined benefit, defined contribution or hybrid plans becomes paramount. Employers recognize the value of these benefits in attracting and retaining talented employees, while at the same time facing the need to control rising costs. Employers that provide these benefits have found it crucial to have visionary executives with unquestioned integrity and the right combination of strategic and technical skills.
EFL Associates’ Pensions & Capital Markets talent management practice meets these needs through our in-depth knowledge of the industry, familiarity with key practitioners, extensive experience and proven search methodology.
Our firm has successfully completed senior administrative and investment leadership searches for plans of all sizes, both public and private, from coast to coast. In fact, no firm can boast of a body of work in this sector that rivals ours. We’re proud of the good name we enjoy with industry leaders and a track record of success that is unmatched.
Our consultants actively participate in and attend industry gatherings. As such, we possess a deep understanding of the industry, its challenges and opportunities. We have guided countless boards, search committees and hiring executives through the process of selecting senior leaders in accordance with their fiduciary responsibilities.
EFL’s Pensions & Capital Markets practice is led by Dan Cummings, Senior Vice President & Managing Director of our Denver office. Dan is recognized as one of the industry’s key talent acquisition specialists and has been a featured speaker at industry conferences.
