​
We deliver truly objective advice with an open architecture environment that allows us to identify the best investment options based on our cornerstone philosophy of quality and asset allocation.
​
COST-EFFICIENT PROCESS.
Our manager selection service is designed to improve efficiency, optimize performance and minimize costs. As we see it, tendering at suitable intervals increases the probability of attaining desired return at a reasonable cost.
​
TWO-WAY COMMUNICATION.
We work in close cooperation with each investor throughout the entire tendering process, or at specific stages. An assignment drawn up together with the investor may include, for instance, an investment policy creation, invitation for tenders, tender analysis and/or quantitative manager analysis.
​
PERSONALIZED SELECTION.
We implement a multi-phase evaluation process based on qualitative and quantitative research and forensic analytics. Our clients benefit from a professional approach and individual advice for each module separately.
MONITORING AND REVIEW.
Aim to support your discovery, understanding, and engagement of the various solution providers and relevant knowledge resources. The entire tendering process, manager selection criteria, and final decisions are thoroughly documented. Afterwards, the documentation serves for the evaluation of previous decisions.

We have developed a first-of-its-kind selection platform that focuses on emerging managers, minority and diverse-, women-, and disabled-owned (DWDO) investment management firms.
Our investment selection platform provides access to various niches, underserved markets, and managers. Raising awareness to minority and diversity managers in our search process is part of our commitment to social responsibility.
