PBGC Industry Day for Upcoming Smaller Asset Manager Program Solicitation
The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) is hosting an Industry Day virtual conference for asset management firms interested in the Smaller Asset Manager Program (SAMP) on November 10, 2022, at 10:00 a.m. ET. The Industry Day conference will describe PBGC’s upcoming fixed income management services solicitation and the federal procurement process. PBGC’s goal is to expand the number of contracts awarded under the program.
PBGC started the SAMP as a pilot program in 2015 to reduce barriers to competition and to create opportunities for smaller asset management firms, including those owned by people of color and women. The SAMP is focused on PBGC’s U.S. core fixed income investments, an asset class where active management has historically added value.
Earlier this year, the PBGC’s Board of Directors approved making the SAMP an ongoing program. PBGC also recently released a review of the SAMP Pilot, illustrating the program’s success. Before PBGC established the SAMP pilot, these contracts were out of reach to smaller firms because the minimum requirements for assets under management were too large for the firms to accommodate.
PBGC will select firms through a competitive procurement process, and smaller asset managers are subject to the same diligence, risk management, and reporting requirements as PBGC’s larger asset managers. Parties interested in joining the conference should RSVP by submitting a registration form to smallmgrprogram@pbgc.gov no later than November 7, 2022, at noon, ET.
The Industry Day does not constitute a formal solicitation for proposals. Following the Industry Day, PBGC will post a request for proposals on SAM.gov.

This October, TIDE was honored to speak at the StepStone AGM event on the panel titled: “Market Opportunities: Accelerating Diversity” with esteemed panelists:
Always in the forefront, StepStone has been invested in diversity even before it became a buzzword and a partner of TIDE’s mission from the beginning.
Wholehearted thanks to StepStone for their support of DEI within our industry.

TIDE Representation @ Conferences
As the voice helping to amplify underrepresented communities, TIDE often gets invited to speak at industry events. Grace has spoken on a select number of conferences including StepStone's AGM, SALT and SuperReturn Series. In addition, we've also extended speaker invites that we've received to members of the TIDE Tribe. We appreciate our partners for thinking of TIDE and sharing their platform to promote DEI.
