Segal Advisors Mourns Martin Levenson

John DeMairo, Senior Vice President and COO of SegalAdvisors, Inc., announced the passing of Martin Levenson on May 27, 2010: "Marty played a key role in the establishment of Segal Advisors in 1969 and was a pioneer in the field of investment consulting. The foundation of our firm's success was Marty's work – he was one of the first in the pension field with the ability to combine investment and actuarial knowledge in client consulting. Those of us who knew Marty would often hear him say the following when a question was posed: 'There is a whole host of variables.' It was emblematic of his remarkable ability to analyze a situation in ways others never contemplated. The one thing about Marty that was not variable was his love and commitment to his profession and to Segal Advisors. His impact was profound and will never be forgotten."

Marty joined The Martin E. Segal Company's New York office in 1965. After rising through the Actuarial Department, Marty helped to start the firm's investment consulting business. In 1969, when Segal Advisors, Inc. was formed, Marty was named its head. He went on to become a Vice President and then a Senior Vice President. Marty was instrumental in the development and growth of Segal Advisors. After a 32-year career with the firm, Marty retired in 1997.

Marty is survived by his beloved wife, Eleanor, and their children and grandchildren. Contributions in Marty's memory may be sent to the Brooklyn Museum.
