Working With Foundations

Expertise. Objectivity. Accountability.

Foundations need objective advice they can rely on. Trustees or directors are fiduciaries, meaning they have an obligation to prudently oversee the assets of the foundation they serve. We help provide a sustainable client process that helps guide fiduciaries in making prudent investment decisions on behalf of their organization.

ANALYZE YOUR CURRENT POSITION

Before presenting our recommendation we listen to you and gain an understanding of your organization’s needs and objectives. We will review your investment policies and your current investment strategies in light of rapidly changing global capital markets.

 

DESIGN AN OPTIMAL ASSET ALLOCATION*

We will recommend complementary, appropriate and durable investment strategies that can help accentuate the risk/return benefits of asset allocation and are consistent with your investment policies.



EVALUATE AND SELECT APPROPRIATE INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

We will present for your consideration specific investment strategies along with research that supports our recommendations. We’ll have an open discussion to gauge your thoughts and feedback and make any adjustments accordingly.

 

REVIEW RESULTS

Our team reviews the progress of your investment portfolio’s assets relative to your goals. We will evaluate and measure the performance of individual strategies as well as the portfolio as a whole. We will meet with the Board semi-annually at minimum and recommend adjustments as changes occur at the individual strategy level, in the global capital markets, and in your organization’s goals.
