R.V. Kuhns And Associates, Inc.
R.V. Kuhns And Associates, Inc is a member of NASD, the National Association of Securities Dealers. NASD is a self-regulatory organization of the securities industry responsible for the operation and regulation of the NASDQ stock market and over the counter markets. It also administrates exams for the investments professionals, such as the series of 7 exams.
R.V. Kuhns & Associates, Inc. provides strategic investment consulting services to institutional investors. Since 1985, R.V. Kuhns & Associates has offered its clients world-class investment advice based on cornerstones of integrity, capability, and client service. The firm is headquartered in Portland, Oregon, with regional service centers in Seattle and New York City. The firm derives 100 percent of its revenues from investment consulting services, its only line of business. The firm's consulting team delivers a wide array of expertise in areas of financial and investment management for its clients.
The firm has developed a proprietary performance monitoring tool that provides their clients with customizable analyses of their exposure to alternative investments such as private equity. They supplement traditional performance measurement methodologies with a multi-faceted review of performance metrics allowing a relevant performance assessment to be made. The highlight of this analysis is their custom benchmark return, which replaces the potentially inappropriate iterative discount rate assumed by the internal rate of return calculation with a custom benchmark hurdle rate, allowing a relevant comparison to be made between the investment and its benchmark index.
The asset allocation process involves four primary steps: the identification of alternative portfolios, the projection of future cash flow conditions, an analysis of the interaction of the portfolios with the future cash flows, and the implementation of diversified asset class exposures. To stress test the expected performance of a portfolio, they employ a Monte Carlo simulation which uses a random sampling of asset class returns, based on the probability distribution implied by the asset class assumptions, to create several thousand estimates of portfolio performance.
The research department ranks all products based on quality of the firm, product, process, investment professionals, and historical performance. Once managers meet their initial requirements, further analysis is performed through a formal interview process of key investment professionals. The special project team actively focuses on the next generation of client reporting and on investment operations efficiencies.
