ASB Wins 2020 Best Places to Work In Money Management Award from Pensions & Investments
Washington, DC — ASB Real Estate Investments (ASB) won a 2020 Best Places to Work in Money Management award, announced today by Pensions & Investments. ASB also won the award in 2019.
Presented by Pensions & Investments, the global news source of money management, ninth-annual survey and recognition program is dedicated to identifying and recognizing the best employers in the money management industry.
Among reasons for ASB’s award P&I cited: the company’s generous volunteer time off, industry specific training, and an inclusive and collaborative workplace, which makes all employees feel valued for positive contributions to the company’s success.
P&I Editor Amy B. Resnick said: In this very unusual year, we learned again that employers that consider the overall wellbeing of their employees are regarded well. The best employers in 2020 are those that have stepped up with policies and practices to support and protect employees’ physical and emotional health, while continuing to keep the focus on clients’ needs. Our surveys found that the employers on the list were likely to work hard to sustain their corporate cultures, even during times of pandemic lockdowns and continuing to work from home in many cases.”
Robert Bellinger, ASB’s President and CEO, said: “The entire ASB team is proud to be acknowledged by P&I for our efforts to create a positive workplace culture which not only benefits all of our employees, but also helps realize superior performance for investment clients, our ultimate company objective. It’s particularly welcome recognition during 2020 in the midst of operating in the COVID-19 pandemic as we have sought to meet client needs while keeping everyone safe.”
Pensions & Investments partnered with Best Companies Group, an independent research firm specializing in identifying great places to work, to conduct a two-part survey process of employers and their employees.

This part of the process was worth approximately 25% of the total evaluation. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience. This part of the process was worth approximately 75% of the total evaluation. The combined scores determined the top companies.
