Investment Managers looking for a competitive advantage are prepared to answer trustees’ questions about investment products and strategies. In addition to performance factors relative to style or peer group, assumed risk, expense ratios, and fees, they may ask:  

• Are all assets protected by US laws?
• How long has the investment strategy been in place?

• How stable is your organization?

• What percentage of your total assets under management does the plan represent?

• Is each product or strategy large enough for our plan?

• Is this investment product part of your core specialty?

 Bravo Zulu can document how your organization and investment selections meet the highest fiduciary standards. And where remediation is needed, Bravo Zulu’s AIF^® designees can help you develop policies and procedures and a system of internal controls that provide the foundation for a disciplined investment process.

 Sophisticated trustees with large, government, or union pension responsibilities expect detailed, independent assessments of the investment managers they use. A documented outside review lets institutional investors focus more on talent, rather than fiduciary risk when selecting new investment options.

 Give your trustee-clients good reason to trust you with investment decisions for their participants and beneficiaries.
