What does an OCIO do?

An Outsourced Chief Investment Officer (OCIO) acts as a third-party firm that takes on the responsibility of managing an organization’s investment portfolio, essentially acting as an outsourced investment manager, allowing the organization to delegate most or all investment decisions to the OCIO. This can include establishing the strategic asset allocation, picking managers to oversee portfolio management, and offering guidance on the overall direction of client portfolios.

Why choose an OCIO?

Working with an OCIO offers additional expertise and leverage, as well as allowing advisors more time to focus on other elements of their business operations. Organizations working with an OCIO can benefit from additional ideas and expanded investment approaches for their clients. Many teams that work with an OCIO also see more efficient time management, reduced costs, faster decision-making, as well as exposure to a potential network of trusted and insightful professionals.

Benefits of working with an OCIO

As the popularity of OCIO’s grows, many firms are experiencing a wide variety of benefits from hiring an OCIO to expand their investment team. From expanded approaches to added services for their clients, firms of all sizes are able to offer more to their clients than ever before. All of this is happening while maintaining lower costs and shrinking the demands on the time of their team members. Some of the biggest notable benefits of hiring an OCIO include:

➤ Active investment strategies

➤ End-of-year tax harvesting

➤ Portfolio transition assistance

➤ Real-time portfolio updates

➤ Quarterly allocation/ updates

➤ Strategy customization

➤ Portfolio recommendations

➤ Additional research & analysis

➤ Dedicated advisor(s)

The benefits do not stop there! Whether it is access to investment models, access to allocation weights and CAPM or support on ad hoc initiatives, having an OCIO to lean on can level up any operation and keep things on the upward trajectory without much of the hassle that can come along with it.

Principal Protection

Thanks to an approach that links an investment to top-performing indices like the S&P 500 or any major stocks at a risk level the investor selects, investors benefit from market growth, all while knowing the initial capital is as protected as you want it to be. So, when the market dips, they have protection against those downturns.

Stabilize

Markets can be a mixed bag, with no clear direction. When that happens we have to balance our approach.

Manage risk exposure

Our strategic balancing act helps capture upside gains while minimizing exposure to unexpected drops.

Beta management

When indicators send conflicting signals, we manage your portfolio’s Beta (the measure of risk relative to the market) to find the sweet spot between growth and protection.

Capitalize

Higher conviction

When the signals are green, it’s time to act. If our conviction in the market is high, we will aim to capitalize.

High risk to reward opportunities

With a proactive stance and precision timing, we position your investments to achieve maximum growth.
