New York Fries’ president and executive vice president were preparing for the next biannual meeting of domestic and international franchisees. They planned to provide an update on all aspect of corporate strategy and planning for the year ahead, but they only had a few days to formulate a new international growth strategy. The president and executive vice president were hesitant to expand into new territories partly due to poor experiences in Australia and South Korea, yet international franchisees had encouraged them to investigate promising areas of expansion into China and India. Complicating matters was the future development of the company’s chain of premium hamburger restaurants. While New York Fries was a well-received brand in Canada, it had not yet decided if and how to internationalize the brand. How could the president and executive vice president pursue new opportunities while maintaining their premium brands of French fries and hamburgers?

Description for case is given below :
In January 2007, Gary Wendlandt was concerned about the US economy. As Chief Investment Officer of the New York Life Insurance Company (NYLIC), he was responsible for managing a $147 billion investment portfolio. The US housing market was weakening at a time when financial institutions had significant assets tied up in mortgage-backed securities and collateralized debt obligations. Credit risk spreads were narrowing despite a general easing of underwriting standards. Wendlandt outlined his concerns in a memo to Ted Mathas, NYLIC’s Chief Operating Officer. The question before Wendlandt and his investment management team was how to implement a “quality tilt” strategy. This would require placing more of NYLIC’s new cash flows into safer fixed income products. NYLIC had a responsibility to its policyholders. It was management’s duty to protect the longevity and financial strength of the firm, so that it could continue to pay policyholder claims, distribute payments from annuities, and issue dividends. Wendlandt faced a classic risk/return tradeoff – i.e., lower current interest income to avoid the higher potential risk of capital losses. How should he adjust NYLIC’s investment portfolio?
