Why Does Your Advisory Firm Need OCIO Services?

To keep pace with rapidly changing markets, ever-changing regulations, and competitors, it’s imperative that Financial Advisors take a strategic approach to investment management.

Advisors trying to grow their firms can be overwhelmed with multitasking—prospecting and marketing while simultaneously providing financial and tax planning services and managing client portfolios.

Balancing these tasks alongside compliance and regulatory obligations creates additional challenges.

As a solution, more and more Advisors are adopting Outsourced Chief Investment Officer (OCIO) services, which can provide strategic investment advice and oversee a firm’s investment management, asset allocation, and due diligence (including risk management).

Why OCIO?

The factors driving the decision to engage OCIO services vary among firms; however, some leading drivers include:

FOCUS
OCIO services can boost your firm’s capabilities and business oversight by allowing you to offload operational burdens and focus on organic growth and client-centric initiatives.

ACCESS
OCIOs offer invaluable expertise, providing access to niche markets, alternative asset classes, and innovative investment strategies that might otherwise be inaccessible to your firm.

COST SAVINGS
The economies of scale inherent in OCIO partnerships can help maximize returns and minimize expenses, boosting profits and enhancing the value you provide clients.

FLEXIBLE INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
Traditional advisory firms often lack the resources to vet investment opportunities—or respond quickly and decisively. An OCIO’s proactive portfolio management can enhance an advisory firm’s ability to maintain a competitive edge and potentially better serve their clients.

CLIENT-CENTRIC STRATEGY
Prioritizing client-centric initiatives is critical to foster long-term relationships and sustain growth. Outsourcing portfolio management to OCIOs frees resources for enhanced client engagement.
