From Jul 2019 to Jul 2024
Putnam Investments today announced that Dr. W. Van Harlow has been named Director, Investment Retirement Solutions, responsible for creating a new generation of products and services that seek to address key investment goals while simultaneously reducing the impact of cost and risk — such as volatility, inflation and longevity — on eventual outcomes. Harlow, who has been serving in a consulting role with Putnam, will report directly to Jeffrey L. Knight, Head of Global Asset Allocation, and also work closely with the firm’s Head of Marketing, Products and Retirement, Jeffrey R. Carney.
In his new position, Dr. Harlow, 54, will also be focused on the development of asset allocation tools and planning methodologies used by financial advisors, consultants and plan sponsors in the retirement and institutional markets. Harlow, who holds an MBA, a Ph.D. in financial economics and a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation, has been a thought leader in the asset management industry for over two decades.
His statistical analysis and research played a key role in the firm’s creation of its ground-breaking Lifetime IncomeSM Analysis Tool and in the methodology that led to the incorporation of absolute return investment strategies into the company’s RetirementReady® lifecycle funds.
“Dr. Harlow has already made substantial contributions as we have introduced innovative thinking and product solutions for the retirement market,” said Knight. “His uniquely insightful, yet practical analysis and application of quantitative analysis to create understandable, user-friendly products and tools will be enormously valuable to Putnam clients and investors.”
In discussing the need for a new generation of more risk-aware solutions designed for an era of greater market uncertainty, Carney noted, “Investors need help in meeting the market challenges that have changed significantly over the past generation. They won’t succeed in meeting their objectives by relying on outdated strategies and ways of thinking.
“The hiring of Dr. Harlow builds upon the intellectual firepower and thought leadership that has driven innovation at Putnam over the past two years, and brought new product offerings, services and strategies to better serve our clients,” Carney continued.
Harlow received a B.A. degree in physics and mathematical science from Rice University and an MBA and a Ph.D. in financial economics from the University of Texas (Austin). He has received such prestigious honors as the Financial Analysts Federation’s Graham and Dodd Award and the Journal of Finance’s Smith Breeden Distinguished Paper Award.
Harlow has long been active in professional circles, serving as Editor-in-Chief of the Financial Analysts Journal from 1993 to 1998, and also on the Council on Education and Research and the Research Foundation for the CFA Institute. His research publications have appeared in numerous academic and practitioner journals.
Prior to serving as a financial consultant, Harlow held a number of senior positions with Fidelity Investments from 1991 to 2008, including serving as Managing Director of the Fidelity Research Institute, Managing Director of Strategic New Business Development and President and Chief Investment Officer of Fidelity Asset Management Services. Before joining Fidelity, Harlow was a vice president at Salomon Brothers Inc., where he was responsible for quantitative investment and trading strategies. Previously, he taught at the University of Texas and the University of Arizona from 1984 to 1989.
