Developing a long-term investment strategy for your assets Investment Policy Planning Assistance

A clearly defined investment policy is an important part of a well-executed investment plan. Your Institutional Consultant can assist you in the development of a written investment policy statement. It is important that the investment policy provide clear and comprehensive guidelines. The investment policy should specify goals and objectives and detail the acceptable investment vehicles that may be used to pursue your goals. A written investment policy statement can be an invaluable guide to disciplined, systematic decision making.

Selecting and evaluating your investment managers Manager Search, Identification and Recommendation

After developing guidelines and objectives with you, your Institutional Consultant can begin to evaluate current managers. A screening process involving both qualitative and quantitative measures is used to objectively identify the most suitable manager candidates. We evaluate managers against their benchmarks and peers and use a variety of statistics to evaluate style purity and risk profile. The end result is a portfolio of complimentary managers who enable the client to manage investment goals with appropriate risk.
