Pragma Consulting NV/SA

Overview:

Pragma Consulting specialises in asset consulting and in risk management related to the retirement, life insurance and investment funds markets and to the capital markets as a whole.

Our main services offered to pension funds and insurance companies are:
- setting up of pension plans;
- strategic and tactical asset allocation;
- selection, appointment and follow up of investment managers;
- guidance related to portfolio analysis, performance and risk;
- currency hedging;
- arranging safe custody;
- fiduciary management.

In view of the ongoing interest in the alternative asset classes Pragma regularly assist its clients with studies about introducing or expanding alternative investments into their strategic asset allocation as well as with the application thereof in the existing portfolios.

Moreover Pragma supports money managers and other financial institutions mainly on the European market by means of:

* in depth strengths and weaknesses analysis and market studies;
* assistance with the implementation and verification of a business plan.

Pragma is regularly involved in special research projects. These may be related to our core focus or to helping to find appropriate institutions for mergers or acquisitions or for joint ventures. Since many years Pragma is involved in the development of funded retirement provision EU-wide often in close co-operation with international or European organisations such as The World Bank, The OECD and The European Commission. This is reflected in numerous publications and speaking assignments throughout the globe, often in co-operation with the above referred to international organisations.

In view of our size and focus we will not always accept this type of work and we may outsource part of it. We aim at maintaining a reputation of high level specialists in these complex matters rather than accepting assignments which go beyond our competencies and capabilities.

History:

Pragma Consulting was founded in 1989 in Brussels (Belgium) by Koen De Ryck, its Chairman and Managing Director on the model of American asset consultants. Koen De Ryck was employed in New York City in the second half of the 80'ties. He was a Chairman and Chief Investment Officer of Nikko Capital Management, a Japanese international money manager, based in New York and affiliated with The Nikko Securities Group. In this position, he gained experience with the functioning of American asset consultants. In the United States, more than 4,000 financial institutions offer their services to more than 50,000 American pension funds. The competition amongst these financial institutions is tough. And this is precisely why the role of asset consultants is crucial. In Europe there was also a need for this kind of specialised and independent advice. Therefore in 1989 Koen De Ryck started his own global asset consulting services company in Belgium, specifically directed at the European market. The success of Pragma Consulting is based on being a fully independent asset consultant relying entirely on its own resources and having no affiliations with institutional investors or investment managers. We operate from our office in Vilvoorde, in the proximity of Brussels - the capital of Europe.
