Asset Dedication LLC Portfolio holdings
Asset Dedication is a turnkey asset manager for financial planners, built around retirement income portfolios that use individual bonds to match a retiree's income stream. It grew out of research begun in 1999 at the University of San Francisco's business school by Stephen Huxley and Brent Burns, who applied the liability-driven method of investing to individual retirees. The two co-authored a book on the strategy, published by McGraw-Hill in 2004, and Burns is the firm's president.
