Verus is an independent, employee-owned provider of non-discretionary consulting and discretionary management services (i.e. OCIO) to a wide variety of institutional investors, including endowments and foundations, corporate defined benefit and defined contribution plans, public pension plans, and multi-employer trusts. These clients, whose assets total in excess of $742 billion*, rely on us for the thoughtfulness of our investment research and personalized approach to their portfolios. Verus traces its roots back to 1986, when the firm was originally founded by William Wurts. Wurts & Associates was renamed Verus in April 2015. Throughout our 37+ year history, we have remained true to our central mission: We are stewards of the means to a better life. Success at what we do preserves and fortifies the wellbeing of individuals, families, and communities. We rely on objective observation, rigorous research, demonstrable facts, and measurable results to help guide our clients. Yet the true value of our work lies beyond what can be measured – what we do impacts people’s lives. Verus provides independent advice through its non-discretionary consulting, private markets, and risk advisory services. For institutions who choose to delegate more of their fiduciary responsibility, we also provide discretionary Outsourced Chief Investment Officer (OCIO) services.
