These offerings are tailored for individual investors, small to mid-sized businesses, and institutions. Finally, the Investment Management segment specializes in a broad array of investment products, including equities, fixed income, liquidity solutions, and alternative investments. These are distributed through institutional and intermediary channels to a wide client base, such as benefit and defined contribution plans, foundations, endowments, governmental entities, sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies, third-party fund sponsors, and corporations.
