Biography
Myron D. (Mike) Stolte is founder and president of Asset Allocation
Incorporated. The company has provided evaluation services to the
sponsors of large pension plans, foundations and endowments since
1980. It is also retained for special projects by Big Four accounting
firms and other consultants.
Stolte served as Manager, Pension Fund Analysis, at 3M Company
during the 1970s. He created the company's internal performance
measurement and evaluation program, reported to senior management,
and presented investment results and policy recommendations to the
board of directors.
His career path represents an unusual combination of experiences
in the four interrelated quadrants of the investment management
rectangle:
- The investment banker's position.
- The portfolio manager's position.
- The plan sponsor's position.
- The independent consultant's position.
Stolte has a BSC degree in accounting from the University of Iowa
and a MBA from the University of Minnesota, where he was also an
instructor in financial mathematics.
His 1981 article in the Harvard Business Review introduced
the concept of performance attribution at the plan sponsor level.
