Outcomes built on trust
What is an OCIO?
In today’s complex investment environment, an outsourced chief investment officer (OCIO) can take on the fiduciary responsibility for your organization’s investment portfolio—managing assets, navigating market volatility, and optimizing portfolio performance to help reach your desired goals. An OCIO lets you delegate investment decisions efficiently, enhances governance, and saves you time so you can attend to other priorities.

Your trusted fiduciary
As a discretionary trustee or investment manager, our OCIO solutions team takes on the highest level of fiduciary responsibility available in investment management. That level of responsibility requires your trust, something we strive to earn and value above all else. That’s why our dedicated and experienced team will work with you to develop a fully customized investment strategy that delivers confidence.
Strategic investment management
Striving to reach your investment goals—even in the face of market turbulence—is dependent on knowing your objectives. We take the time up front to identify and understand your higher-level strategy and assets before putting plans in motion.
Competitively priced portfolios
We build in efficiencies—both operationally and from an investment selection standpoint—that help keep our portfolios cost-competitive and drive down your overall costs without compromise to goals or performance. Plus, we provide full fee transparency with no out-of-scope billing.
