Outsourced CIO (OCIO)

Delegated Investment Oversight

Outsourced CIO (OCIO)

External CIO support for institutions that need allocation oversight, manager review, and committee-ready reporting in a single relationship.

Operating Problem

Where This Service Fits

This work fits institutions where committee bandwidth is limited, policy oversight needs to stay organized, or manager review has become too heavy for the internal team alone.

Typical Audience

Endowments, foundations, family offices, and operating entities.

Engagement Shape

We can cover allocation design, manager review, risk oversight, and committee reporting as part of an ongoing governance process.

How We Work

A Typical Service Process

Each engagement is scoped to the client, but the work usually follows a clear sequence from initial definition through ongoing review.

  1. 01

    Set objectives and policy context

    We begin with investment objectives, liquidity needs, policy constraints, and the decision structure your committee or leadership team uses.

    Asset allocation, manager coverage, and oversight priorities are then organized around those objectives and governance requirements.

    Maintain the oversight cadence

    Ongoing work includes monitoring, manager review, risk oversight, and preparation for scheduled decision points.

  4. 04

    Support committee decisions

    Reporting and meeting materials are prepared to help committees review progress, address issues, and make informed decisions.
