Why Use A Consultant?

Investment management consultants provide an objective, effective, and expert answer to the increasingly complex problem of how to best manage a large pool of funds.

Large organizations have long relied on consultants to help set investment goals, establish asset allocation guidelines, screen investment managers for selection, and evaluate fund performance. These organizations, as highly sophisticated investors, realize that a few executives spending only a few hours each quarter simply cannot do justice to a subject that deserves constant attention.

This is especially true in the "middle market" - funds starting at $10 million - where the luxury of full-time consultants and staff doesn't exist. It is this environment that has led to the creation and growth of Investment Consulting Group.

The growing role of the investment management consultant reflects the increasing complexity of today's financial markets. A changing regulatory environment, a volatile and uncertain economy, and a constant demand on time are forcing those responsible for the management of large pools of money to seek expert, outside assistance.
