Investment managers focused on delivering performance to investors face a number of challenges in supporting alpha delivery through an operational model that provides appropriate oversight over its firms’ processes and procedures. When we review investment managers on behalf of our clients, our risk assessment involves an in-depth review of processes, controls and procedures across core areas of the organization. In conducting this analysis, our primary focus is to distinguish well-managed operations and control environments from those that potentially expose clients to increased, and often unnecessary, operational risks and costs.
