We know Bonds… and Liabilities.

Ryan ALM has successfully helped plan sponsors intelligently meet their pension obligations since 2004 through fixed income management.

Our Mission

Ryan ALM's mission is to solve liability-driven problems through low-cost, low-risk solutions. Our team builds a bespoke system of proprietary synergistic products for each client designed to measure liabilities as a Custom Liability Index (CLI) and manage assets to the CLI as a Liability Beta Portfolio™ (LBP). This custom approach reduces risk, reduces funding costs, smooths volatility and most importantly, secures the benefit payments for your plan participants.

In addition, as fixed income experts, we can manage bonds to any index benchmark, especially the Bloomberg Barclays indexes (formerly the Lehman bond indexes) that our CEO Ron Ryan designed while serving as the Director of Fixed Income Research at Lehman Brothers.
