The 2025 Coalition Greenwich Best Investment Consultant in Service & Investment Counseling – Large Investment Consultants for Institutional Investors in the U.S. designation was awarded to three firms and is based on the results of interviews conducted by Crisil Coalition Greenwich. Between February and September 2024, Crisil Coalition Greenwich interviewed 699 individuals from 563 of the largest tax-exempt funds in the United States, including corporate and union funds, public funds, and endowment and foundation funds, with either pension or investment pool assets greater than $150 million. The award is the product of numerical scores in Crisil Coalition Greenwich’s proprietary research that are generated from the study interviews. Investment performance is not a criterion because client objectives and risk tolerances vary, and advisors rarely have audited performance reports.

The award is not indicative of participating firm’s nor their financial advisors’ past or future performance and may not be representative of any one client's experience because the results represent an average of all experiences of responding clients only.
