About Enduring

There’s a saying in manufacturing, and it applies to financial services as well:"You can have it good, cheap, or fast. Pick any two." The reality is that most successful businesses fall into one of these three categories:

  1. You can have it good and cheap, but you may have to wait a bit on delivery.
  2. You can have it cheap and fast, but it won’t be high quality.
  3. You can have it good and fast, but it will cost you!
Businesses have to choose where they want to excel, unless they want to be moderately cheap, moderately good, and moderately fast. And that doesn’t tend to be a recipe for success.

Enduring Investments is an exception. As a boutique manager specializing in inflation-related products and markets, we produce strategies that are unavailable elsewhere. The S&P Target Tuition Inflation Index, which was our creation, is an example of the level of innovation that we produce. But we also deliver quickly, because we have a flat structure with no ‘flagpole’ up which everything must run. Ordinarily, this would mean our strategies are expensive (good, fast lawyers are not cheap, for example), but we are also inexpensive because we have low overhead and no legacy expenses, unlike the giant asset managers, and we are highly motivated, as entrepreneurs building a business we believe in.

We also know that even if we produce better strategies, at lower cost, and deliver faster and more personalized service than some large “safe name” managers, there are still some clients who will choose the safe name. Are you one of them? If you are, those companies will be happy to charge you more for less...

...but we suspect you are not one of those, or you wouldn’t be reading this. Reach out to us and start a conversation, and challenge us to be good, cheap, and fast!

Partnering with Enduring

Asset Management and Subadvisory

Enduring Investments is an emerging manager that implements specialized inflation strategies. The firm is registered as an Investment Adviser with the state of New Jersey and as a CPO and CTA with the National Futures Association. If you are an institutional investor, Enduring Investments can also customize an inflation-hedging strategy that suits your specific requirements, managing either in a separate account or advising/subadvising a commingled or 40-Act vehicle. If you are an individual investor who meets the criteria for categorization as an accredited investor, we have unique investment strategies that can be implemented flexibly, transparently, and inexpensively.

Innovation and Licensing

Not all clients require asset management services. In 2016, we founded our subsidiary Enduring Intellectual Properties Inc. (EIPI) so that we could bring Enduring solutions to customers without requiring them to become asset management clients.
Through EIPI, Enduring can license its strategies to institutional clients and asset managers who wish to utilize an Enduring innovation but handle implementation themselves. Enduring IP also engages to develop new solutions that meet clients’ particular strategy design needs or specific exposures they wish to hedge.

Consulting

Your inflation is not the same as CPI inflation, and so your exposure might not be best addressed with conventional inflation-linked products. Or, perhaps it is. Do you know?
If you're unsure of whether you should be buying TIPS or commodities, or doing something else to hedge your unique exposure to resin prices or Dutch inflation, doesn't it make sense to ask an expert?
There are many analysts who claim to be inflation experts, because there is no certification for inflation experts. But have those individuals put in their "ten thousand hours" in inflation to actually become experts, or are they just hoping they know a little bit more than you do?
It doesn't hurt to ask. Reach out to us and see if we can help.
