How we do it

Investment Stewards have the most important, yet most misunderstood, role in the investment process: to manage the organization’s investment Practices, without which the other components of the investment strategy cannot be defined, implemented, or evaluated.  The Investment Steward is responsible for managing the overall investment strategy: deciding on the asset allocation, defining the details of the strategy, implementing the strategy with appropriate Investment Advisors, and monitoring the strategy on an ongoing basis.

Our process begins with a thorough review of the goals and objectives for your organization’s assets. We then complete a detailed review of the current documentation, practices and procedures to identify weaknesses, liability exposure and opportunities for improvement. The end product is a world-class solution.

A Synopsis of our Fiduciary Success Review Process includes:

  1. Reviewing  plan information for compliance with applicable laws, trust documents, and written investment policy statements (IPS);
  2. Documenting that roles and responsibilities of all involved parties (fiduciaries and non-fiduciaries) are defined, documented, and acknowledged;
  3. Verifying service agreements and contracts are in writing, and do not contain provisions that conflict with fiduciary standards of care;
  4. Implementing an IPS which contains the detail to define, implement, and manage a specific investment strategy;
  5. Implementing an investment strategy in compliance with the required level of prudence;
  6. Following a due diligence process in selecting service providers, including the custodian;
  7. Providing reports that compare investment performance against appropriate index, peer group, and IPS objectives; and
  8. Reviewing effectiveness in meeting fiduciary responsibilities.
