ADVISORS

MARKETING & PRACTICE SUPPORT

We help clients develop an effective, research-backed investment process, communicate that process with branded collateral and set them up for lasting success.

CONTENT MARKETING

What is the ideal frequency of touch points in an effective content marketing strategy and what content has the highest likelihood of sparking engagement? We work with advisors inside existing frameworks or in newly constructed, bespoke marketing strategies to develop and update insightful and actionable content for clients and prospects alike.

MODEL & FIRM BROCHURES

Customized and branded model fact sheets and firm marketing brochures that leverage the most salient and unique features of an advisor’s investment solution, planning offering, and overall practice. Brochures are developed using a collaborative approach that folds in feedback from founders and owners to senior investment and client-facing personnel.

GLOBAL IPS DEVELOPMENT

What are the benefits of a clearly articulated investment philosophy and process? What are the crucial elements and how should they be crystalized and captured in a firmwide policy statement? We work with advisors to develop and document a global IPS that serves as the roadmap for the consistent and disciplined execution of a long-term investment program.

BENCHMARK REVIEW & IMPLEMENTATION

What is the most effective way to evaluate the performance of an investment or portfolio? How should fees be integrated into the reporting process? We believe fair and accurate benchmarking is an essential piece of the overall investment process. We provide unbiased reviews of existing reporting frameworks and implementation guidance and support to ensure an optimal structure is set and maintained.

PORTFOLIO TRANSITION MANAGEMENT

What is the most efficient way to transition a single portfolio or multiple portfolios from one model or approach to another? How should low cost-basis positions, wide-ranging variation across accounts and other idiosyncrasies be handled? We support advisors with thoughtfully crafted transition plans that optimize for the client experience over multiple time frames that range from weeks to years.

INVESTMENT COMMITTEE STRUCTURING

A properly functioning investment committee is integral to the investment decision-making process. Though every committee is different, successful investment committees share many of the same qualities. We work with senior investment decision-makers to refine committee structures and help set up teams for lasting success.

TRANSACTION CONSULTING

Considering selling your practice or acquiring an external book or team? What operational, investment and even philosophical factors determine how effectively two or more distinct practices can be integrated, positions assimilated, and economies of scale realized? We have worked with clients large and small through the practice due diligence and acquisition process.
