RVK

RVK operates as an employee-owned partnership. Russ Ivinjack serves as President, and the firm's senior consultants collectively steer its research and client advisory work. Ronald Kahn, the founder, remained involved in the firm's direction into the 2020s.

No. RVK provides only advisory and consulting services. It does not manufacture or sponsor proprietary investment funds, separate accounts, or pooled vehicles. This structure is designed to eliminate conflicts of interest in manager recommendations.

RVK advises public pension funds, corporate defined-benefit and defined-contribution plans, endowments, foundations, and Taft-Hartley plans. The firm has a notable footprint in the US public pension segment, serving state and municipal retirement systems across multiple regions.

RVK is an employee-owned firm, not a subsidiary of a bank, insurer, or private equity platform. This independence means its consulting recommendations are not influenced by a parent company's proprietary products or distribution goals, a structural distinction from several large institutional consulting competitors.

RVK provides investment policy development, strategic asset allocation, manager search and selection, performance monitoring, fee benchmarking, and specialized consulting for defined-contribution plans. Its research team performs due diligence on investment managers across public markets, private assets, and real assets.
