Client Service - Investment Manager Identification and Selection
Gray & Company recognizes that selecting a manager requires sophistication, diligence and thought, rather than simply sifting through lists of investment managers and their stated investment returns. Gray & Company’s consulting team takes an intensive analytical approach to the manager selection process. In today’s complex economic environment the real added value from our team comes from in-depth knowledge of constantly changing and evolving investment instruments and those specific individuals who can use then most effectively to achieve desired results.
Quantitative Considerations:
Investment Style- Is it identifiable and does it fit the asset allocation?
Key Professionals- Are the people responsible for the track record still there?
Assets under Management- Is the manager too large or too small to execute the investment style effectively?
Investment Philosophy- Is it definable and distinct?
Investment Record- Is it competitive when compared to managers of similar style? Does execution of the style explain the record?
Investment Process- Is philosophy consistently adhered to?
Investment Product- Are the results consistent with the product?
