For the past five years, Pensions & Investments (P&I) has ranked NISA as the Largest Overlay Manager in the U.S. The 2021 rankings were based on U.S. institutional, tax-exempt assets managed internally (covered for overlay) as of December 31, 2021; published on June 5, 2022. Some 444 investment management firms responded to the online questionnaire. To qualify, a firm must manage assets for U.S. institutional tax-exempt clients, such as qualified retirement plans, endowments or foundations, and answer the minimum required questions. Other survey participants may have reported overlay strategies on a basis other than notional values and, as such, direct comparison and rankings may not be appropriate.
