Getting Organized
Once we agree to work together, the next step in the process is to get organized and compile the data needed to analyze your current situation. We encourage clients to be as thorough and open as possible about their organization's finances, as the quality of the information we have to rely on ties directly to the advice we are able to provide.
During this step, we will assess the following:
- Do the Investment Stewards demonstrate an awareness of fiduciary duties and responsibilities?
- Are the current investments consistent with applicable governing documents?
- Are the roles and responsibilities of all involved parties defined and documented?
- Have the Investment Stewards identified conflicts of interest in a manner consistent with the duty of loyalty?
- Are all agreements with service providers in writing and consistent with fiduciary standards of care?
- Are portfolio assets protected from theft and embezzlement?
Once information is collected, we can begin to develop strategies to help you achieve your goals that are tailored to your organization's situation.
